We are becoming more educated about different treatments using natural products or therapies that are non-invasive. Many of these do not have any side effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s important that before you try an alternative product or treatment to get all the information you can get and for a veterinarian to recommend it. Like humans, dogs are unique making each case different, so what may work for one dog may not work for another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is a list of non-traditional treatments. Let us know in the comment section if you know any!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Homeopathy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Homeopathy is a way to treat sicknesses with natural products that don\u2019t have side effects. Classic homeopathy is a medical system based in the use of small quantities of the substances that in large quantities would cause the sickness that\u2019s being treated. Quantities used depend on each patient and the amount of pain he is in, meaning that treatments are personalized. The homeopathic vet will do an in-depth analysis of the disease the dog has, and determine the dosage and duration of the treatment. Usually dog owners go to homeopathic vets to seek treatment from orthopedic problems, epilepsy, cardiac problems, allergies, parasites, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Bach Flowers<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This remedy includes 38 wild flowers. They won\u2019t cure any disease but are useful when treating emotional problems like insecurities, apathy, dependence and more. The flowers are usually taken for four days, the drops may be dissolved in the dog\u2019s water or directly in the dog\u2019s food.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Aromatherapy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It consists on treating diseases with different essences. <strong>It\u2019s recommended for dogs who have parasites, otitis or dermatological problems<\/strong>. The most used plants are cinnamon, lavender, rosemary, oregano and tea tree oil. The professional is the one who should always determine which plants should be used.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Phytotherapy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Phytotheraphy uses medicinal plants that don\u2019t have any side-effects to prevent, cure or relieve pain<\/strong>. A disadvantage is that the plants may have a bad smell, which dogs don\u2019t like. This therapy or the ones described above should only be used under professional supervision and prescription since they can interfere with other medicines.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Massages<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through massages we can improve our dog\u2019s wellbeing. It\u2019s a therapeutic method that can help him be in better shape physically and mentally. It\u2019s beneficial and recommended for senior dogs, but can also be used on young dogs since it improves muscular tone, nerves and sleeping problems. To learn to do it correctly what\u2019s best is to go to a professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Acupuncture <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This type of therapy focuses on the acupunctural points on the dog\u2019 body. A professional inserts thin needles into different points of the body depending on the dog\u2019s needs trying to balance his energy. <strong>Acupuncture can treat many symptoms like chronic pain, skin conditions, behavioral or cardiac problems<\/strong>. It can help treat many conditions, since it\u2019s a complete and effective treatment. Ask your vet about this technique and how it can help your dog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29293 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/acupuntura-perro-dindog-300x165.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/acupuntura-perro-dindog-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/acupuntura-perro-dindog-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/acupuntura-perro-dindog-610x336.jpg 610w, https:\/\/dinbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/acupuntura-perro-dindog.jpg 900w\" alt=\"acupuntura-perro-dindog\" width=\"608\" height=\"312\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Physiotherapy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sounds more familiar than the others? \u00a0Canine physiotherapy is usually used for rehabilitation therapies to help our dog recuperate faster. It\u2019s used when dogs have gone through <strong>cases of trauma and muscular distension, osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, fractures and dislocations<\/strong>. Physiotherapy includes various techniques:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ultrasound therapy <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This technique is used when there are injuries related to sports, rehabilitation and therapies against pain. Ultrasounds are used to get rid of calcification in the bones and to promote the reabsorption of deposits of calcium salts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hydrotherapy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This technique makes the movement of the joints more natural and less painful. It\u2019s becoming a more common and used by professionals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Massage therapy <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It consists on manipulating soft tissues in the body to help improve the circulation of liquids, and accelerate the cure of degenerative or chronic conditions like osteoarthritis. It produces a relaxing effect that can be beneficial for nervous or aggressive dogs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Thermotherapy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a rehabilitation therapy that consists on applying hot and cold. The cold is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Applying hot is used to increase blood flow, reduce pain and relax muscles, plus it increases elasticity in tissues.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Magnetotherapy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s like physiotherapy but uses electromagnetic energy for therapeutic purposes using low intensity magnetic fields. It has no side-effects and few contraindications. It\u2019s used in <strong>dogs who have arthritis, rheumatism, skin lesions, ulcers and others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cryotherapy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s one of the best solutions when treating <strong>trauma<\/strong> in the first 24 to 72 hours. It improves vasoconstriction and relaxes muscles.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Fila&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_divider admin_label=&#8221;Separador&#8221; color=&#8221;#afd59d&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;top&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texto&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] You may also like: [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog admin_label=&#8221;Blog&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; include_categories=&#8221;58,48,43&#8243; show_thumbnail=&#8221;on&#8221; show_content=&#8221;off&#8221; show_more=&#8221;off&#8221; show_author=&#8221;on&#8221; show_date=&#8221;on&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;on&#8221; show_comments=&#8221;on&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;on&#8221; offset_number=&#8221;0&#8243; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; use_dropshadow=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243;] [\/et_pb_blog][et_pb_divider admin_label=&#8221;Separador&#8221; color=&#8221;#afd59d&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; divider_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;top&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Texto&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] Share on: [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s becoming more common to treat sick dogs in non-conventional ways.
