Dogs can experience pain in their backs and necks, they just may not be able to tell you about it. Natural remedies for back and neck pain target infection, pain, and removing the cause of the pain. A veterinary diagnosis will be helpful in knowing the cause of your dog's pain, making it easier to narrow down the solution.
Causes of back pain in dogs are quite similar to the causes of back pain in humans. A misaligned or damaged disc in the spine can cause pain. Infection and inflammation can cause back pain. Arthritis or injury can be the root of back pain.
Turmeric
Turmeric is commonly used to reduce pain, inflammation and infection. It does have a strong taste and some creativity may be needed to encourage your dog to take his turmeric. You will find dosing information on this page.
Chiropractic Adjustment
The specialty of pet chiropractors is growing as pet owners and pet health professionals realize the need for this service. If your dog has neck or back pain from a spinal misalignment or slipped disc, chiropractic adjustments will be a non-invasive treatment you can consider.
Dietary Changes
The higher quality of food your dog consumes, the better his body will repair itself and fight infection. Look for grain free food or even consider a raw diet for your dog.
