Clinical signs of back pain and spinal dysfunction can include asymmetric or restricted joint motion.
Positive support evidence that chiropractic treatment of horses may increase joint ROM of the carpus and tarsus and improve joint ROM asymmetry.

Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases in dogs and often show minimal clinic signs
