Rehabilitation is the restoration to the normality, or to the closest possible of her, in way and of function altered by some lesion type. That rehabilitation is made through techniques used as the acupuncture, physiotherapy and chiropractic (art of adjusting with the hands the subluxation of the articulations of the body).
The rehabilitation includes the patients’ evaluation with functional limitations, incapacity and/or locomotion difficulties, pain, posture alterations, etc. After that evaluation accomplished by the specialist of the area, the treatment protocol is drawn.
The animal rehabilitation is used since the decade of 80 in the United States and in Europe and it is usually used as main treatment before the conventional medicines and of the surgery. The animal is only directed for surgery if he doesn’t answer to the rehabilitation, and when submitted to the surgical procedure its recovery is faster, because the rehabilitation improved its physical condition.
The Acupuncture is a technique of stimulation of defined areas in the skin, for needles and/or for transfer of heat for therapeutic ends. It fills out a gap between the medicine and the surgery.
It is known that the acupuncture affects all of the physiologic systems (normal function of the body), acting from way to take the organism to find its energy balance, doing with that the energy blockades (trigger points) they are undone and the energy flows correctly for the body. It is gotten to restore the normal activities of the organs, visceras, members, since, there be not irreversible structural alterations (for instance, paralysis of members for rupture of the espinal cord).
It treats problems as paralyses, pain, locomotion difficulties, posture alteration, disk hernia or bone alterations, skin and behavior problems, etc.
The Physiotherapy is the treatment of a disease through exercises and apparels. It evaluates, prevents and reats the movement disturbances. It acts in the most different areas with procedures, techniques, methodologies and specific approaches with the objective of treating, to minimize and to prevent the most varied dysfunctions.
Many resources exist, as, for instance: the therapeutic ultrassound, laser, TENS, neuromuscular stimulation, field magnetic pulse, etc.
Many problems can be treated as: articulate, muscular and bone problems, pain, locomotion difficulty, paralyses, muscular atrophies, arthrosis, etc.
Chiropractic is the art of adjusting with the hands the subluxações of the articulations of the body. An exam of palpation of the articulations is accomplished and the articulations that come untidy they are adjusted. She stimulates the recuperative force of the body to healing without the use of medicines or surgery.
A subluxation doesn’t allow the nervous information to flow correctly, therefore when adjusting the body of the animal we are helping the nervous system so that he can recover it functionality, improving the movement of the articulations of the spine and of the extremities of the animal. This improvement of the movement results in muscles, tendons and ligaments more resistant, strong and developed.
A messed up vertebra can cause pain, posture alteration and in the walk, paralyses, aggressiveness, low performance in animals athletes, lameness, etc.
As it is a specialized treatment, only the specialist of the area can specify the number of sections, treatment type and duration of the treatment.
The animal apparently can be recovered, but if it is not totally rehabilitated can happen a relapse or to appear other problems.
