IVDD in Dogs: Stacey, a 15 year old Dachshund, Recovers from Paralysis

Stacey's hind legs became paralysed in March 2019 due to intervertebral disc disease. We have been blessed to help many paralysed pets to walk again over the last few years using acupuncture, physical rehabilitation, laser therapy and veterinary chiropractic. 4 weeks later, Stacey was walking well.
Disc disease can be a very frustrating condition for owner, pet and therapist alike as there is no set time frame of when the pet might start to walk again. The first 6 weeks following paralysis or hind leg weakness is the most crucial time to start neurological rehabilitation as the spinal cord has the ability to regenerate. Some will take steps by themselves in a few weeks and others only after many months and sometimes even years. However, in our experience the majority will walk again so staying positive is a very important aspect of the therapy. Check out the video of Stacey's progress. Thank you very much to Kahn Morbee for the use of his song “Nothing is Impossible”.

Absolutely miraculous 😱 brought a tear to my eyes. I'm so grateful that my dachshund started therapy with you 🙏

The clinic needs to open 1 in Southern California! My dog has the same thing. 4 legs collapsed suddenly when he woke up in the morning. Luckily he is back to walking slowing now; yes did use acupuncture and massage therapy.

This all sounds incredibly expensive

What stage was Stacey? My boy is struggling right now, only been a few days and trying to figure out the best treatment plans- starting laser tomorrow and acupuncture too!
