Horse joint pain is something that has never crossed my mind. It always seemed to me that horses, especially my favorite pet Semper, is impervious to pain and sickness. When my beautiful pet Semper seemed to be aching, I had no clue where to begin. Luckily I found Dr. Ava Frick’s website about her Animal Fitness Center. I learned that animals, even horses, can be susceptible to diseases and illnesses that are also experienced by humans. If I hadn’t brought my equine friend to the doctor on time, his joint problems would have exacerbated and I would really not forgive myself for being so insensitive to his pain.Animal Chiropractic

What Dr. Ava Frick explained to me was that horse joint pain is common to equines that are at least 15 years of age. Just like in humans, the tendons and cartilage of horses can also be susceptible to wear and tear as they grow old. Since I got Semper when I was 14 I didn’t think about his aging causing pain, swelling, stiffness and swelling in his joints. I was not able to tell that my beloved horse was suffering for so long because I could not tell he was in any pain. I was still putting him through hours of practice and even rode him everyday around our farm.

Medication and drugs are usually given for equine joint pain. However, I know for a fact that pain medication can also be harmful to the internal organs of horses. Besides, I want to make sure that the management of my beloved Semper’s problems should be done as natural as possible. So it was great that Dr. Ava Frick supports alternative therapy to medications for treatment. I love that the Animal Fitness Center uses holistic methods of therapy to relieve Equine Arthritis. Not only do they specialize in relieving pain through electronic devices but they also concentrate on the proper nutrition needed for a fast recovery. I was truly relieved to see how my horse was cared for during his stay at the Animal Fitness Center.

One thing about the Animal Pain Relief care that Dr. Ava Frick gave to Semper is that it was custom just for him. Treatments like this are targeted towards the root of the problem so they can cure it instead of just treating the pain caused by it. Although medications can ease the horse joint pain felt by Semper, these will not really target to root cause of the problem, they will simply manage the symptoms. Aside from massage therapy, my horse was also subjected to PST Vet (Pulsed Signal Therapy), which is a non invasive type of pain management that not only helps alleviate pain but also boosts the functionality of problematic areas. Already Semper is showing improvement after just a few weeks at the Animal Fitness Center.Horse Joint Pain

No matter how patient you are with your pet animals, there are times when the things they do can really make you cry and feel helpless as they display symptoms of Horse Depression or anxiety. Last year my loving Chihuahua passed away and I became depressed. What my friends did to alleviate the sadness that I was feeling was buy me a new Chihuahua. When I saw my new Chihuahua I really did feel a little better from losing Fritzy. At least, I had a new companion that I can care for again. Since I had Fritzy for a long time, I never really knew how to deal with a new dog. Although I tried my best to make Dolly feel at home, she was really impossible. Soon after trying so hard with Dolly my relief turned into anxiety. Regardless of what I tried to do for her she kept showing aggression and had very skittish behavior. Even after I potty trained her she still kept going in her kennel and in my house.Animal Chiropractic

It was great that I found Midwest Microcurrent in a forum for pet anxiety. I found out Dolly was experiencing animal depression and anxiety according to Dr. Ava Frick. I know that not being active can cause depression because I saw it in the end of Fritzy’s life, but I did not know that other signs consisted of things Dolly was showing, like aggression, fear and going in the house. Who would have thought that animals, no matter how much you try to care for them, can also feel alone and depressed?

I like Dr. Ava Frick’s holistic alternatives to dealing with pet anxiety or animal depression. I was scared she would put Dolly on medication to keep her calm. Dr. Ava Frick suggested using her Alpha-Stim Stress Control System instead of medication for Dolly. I kid you not but n less than one hour Dolly was less aggressive. She looked so calm and happy.

I was informed that one treatment would not cure Dolly of her pet anxiety. I could not quit my job to continue Dolly’s treatments but was happy to find out that I can bring Midwest Microcurrent’s Alpha-Stim SCS treatments home. Since it is so easy to use I have been able to treat Dolly’s depression right at home. Dolly’s depression and misbehavior seemed to clear up in just a few weeks of treatment. She has not had any rashes since and has become friendly with everyone.Animal Chiropractic
