Pets In theChiropractic Office
By Dr. David Walls-Kaufman
It’s always fun to watch peoples’ eyes light up when I tell them that, Yes, I have ad-justed animals.I’ll never forget when I was in chiroprac-
tic school and Dr. Schmeidel would adjust animals in the Dissection Lab every Wednes-day under the low light entering from the glass cube wall. One day a student brought in his Doberman with paralyzed back legs after he had been struck by a car he was chasing.
Dr. Schmeidel gently removed the muzzle on the pathetic dog who was lying on a door-mat that reeked of urine, since he had lost bowel function. Dr. Scheidel lifted up the x-rays from the vet’s office (who had said “Put him down”) in front of the glass cubes: the dog’s spine looked nearly like an L instead of being straight, like an I.
Dr. Schmeidel, who was famous for his cruelty to us students, ever so delicately be-gan working the kink in the spine. You could tell from the dog’s eyes he understood he was being helped. They were full of gratitude.
Long story short—Three weeks later that paralyzed dog came back for a spinal check-up dancing and prancing with his master as game as you please.
My own first experience with a dog came with a Doberman named Baron. He was fa-natically chewing his right wrist. The vet sus-pected a splinter, but could find nothing. I suspected he had a nerve irritation creating a buzzing in the joint that he was trying to tear out with his canines.
I adjusted Baron’s neck. He stopped chew-ing, and was fine for a year, when he started the horrible habit again. I adjusted him again, he stopped—and he never did it again.
