Surgery can be tough on our four-legged family members—especially when recovery means weeks of limited mobility, discomfort, and frustration. But what if there were a way to help your dog bounce back faster and stronger? That’s where chiropractic care, led by Dr. Angela of Synchrony Chiropractic, steps in.

Whether you’re a pet parent helping your pup heal after surgery, or a veterinarian seeking to enhance post-op outcomes, chiropractic care offers a safe, effective, and drug-free solution to support healing.

Why Surgery Alone Isn’t the End of the Story

Procedures like cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) repairs, hip surgeries, or spinal interventions may solve the structural issue—but the road to recovery is where the real work begins. After surgery, dogs often compensate by shifting their weight, altering their gait, or avoiding certain movements. These adaptations can lead to stiffness, joint misalignment, and uneven muscle use.

Dr. Angela uses gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment and reduce tension on healing tissues. When paired with cold laser therapy—another tool in her mobile toolkit—she helps decrease inflammation, speed tissue repair, and improve overall mobility.

Carter’s Comeback: A Personal Story

One of the most meaningful cases we’ve ever seen was close to our own hearts. Our little dog, Carter, had to undergo CCL surgery years ago. We knew recovery wouldn’t be easy for him—he was spunky, stubborn, and not one to sit still.

But with consistent chiropractic adjustments and targeted cold laser therapy from Dr. Angela, Carter surprised even us. His recovery was remarkably smooth and fast. Within weeks, he was walking with confidence and returning to his playful self. He’s no longer with us, but his resilience—and the role chiropractic played in it—continues to inspire everything we do.

The Benefits of Chiropractic for Post-Op Dogs

• Faster return to normal movement patterns

• Improved joint health and muscle balance

• Reduced pain and inflammation

These benefits aren’t just for the elite canine athletes—they’re for every pup, from the couch potato recovering from knee surgery to the active lab bouncing back from hip repair.
