Sports Medicine

Our animal friends are athletes. They are always running, jumping and injuring themselves in the process of having fun. Too many people think that just because their dog wants to go running with them, even if they are limping, that it means that it is OK to take them with you. What happens is that the injuries never have a chance to heal, and set up a chronic inflammation situation which will never get better, which causes a constant limp, and which can be very debilitating.

At Boulder's Natural Animal we counsel people to rest their animals and curtail the activities that will perpetuate the "sports injuries". We use acupuncture, herbs, massage, homeopathics, and other therapies to help your animalheal from these sports injuries.
