"Help for Arthritis" is a comprehensive guide written by Dr. Elaine CEBULIAK to provide valuable assistance to pet owners whose beloved animals are suffering from arthritis. As pets age, arthritis becomes a common ailment, limiting their mobility and causing discomfort. Unfortunately, traditional Western medicine offers limited options for treatment, primarily relying on pain-relieving drugs that often fall short in providing adequate relief. This eBook emphasizes the use of herbal and supplementary therapies, remedial and rehabilitation techniques, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and more to improve joint function and range of motion in pets.
The book highlights the various manifestations of arthritis in animals, including weakness and pain, which can lead to muscle atrophy and decreased activity. Dr. CEBULIAK shares her insights and experiences as an acupuncturist, advocating for acupuncture as a primary treatment for arthritis in animals. She discusses how acupuncture can significantly improve the quality of life for pets, especially when administered early on in the disease. Additionally, the book explores the benefits of complementary therapies such as Accell therapy, hydrotherapy, essential oils, and acupressure, all of which contribute to pain relief, muscle rehabilitation, and increased mobility.
Readers will find practical advice and recommendations for incorporating natural remedies and therapies into their pets' daily routines. The eBook also delves into the use of Chinese herbs, trigger point work, omega-3 fatty acids, GAG injections, and vitamin C, among other supplements, to reduce inflammation, rebuild damaged cartilage, and alleviate pain associated with arthritis. Furthermore, the author provides guidance on chiropractic care, massage, and energy therapies like Reiki and Bowen therapy, highlighting their potential to enhance healing and improve an animal's overall well-being.
With an emphasis on holistic approaches and a focus on enhancing pets' quality of life, "Help for Arthritis" serves as a valuable resource for pet owners seeking effective and compassionate solutions for managing arthritis in their aging companions. Dr. CEBULIAK's expertise and genuine care for animals shine through, offering hope and practical strategies to help pets live happier, pain-free lives in their golden years.
