Four Leg BLOG: Conservative Management of IVDH and Disc Resorption or Regression
|
|
So my last blog received a comment that I think would be good to explore in this blog. (https://www.fourleg.com/Blog?b=650). The comment pertained to the following
sentence in my last blog.
“‘…if human medicine utilizes foundational animal research to guide clinical treatments for people, why cannot human research be used to guide clinical treatments for animals?”
The comment was a response to the question posed, and it was: 1. There is a difference in weight bearing of the spine between dogs and humans. 2. There are differences between chondrodystrophic and
non-chondrodystrophic breeds. 3. There are far more mineralized IVDD/IVDH cases than resorbed disc herniations in small animal veterinary medicine. These are absolutely fair and valid points. So, I thought I would explore the research to look at spontaneous regression / resorption of canine discs. I've decided to include one quote,
just to whet your appetite! "The frequency at which spontaneous resolution of disc-associated compression occurs in dogs is unknown, because most affected cases either do not undergo cross-sectional imaging or, alternatively, undergo surgical decompression." Continue reading - click

Have You Checked it Out?
|
|
For over a year, I worked with Physiotec (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!
I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises.
There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc, etc!
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question
pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful!
Go there... Check it out!!!
