At night, they may scramble ineffectively to rise, becoming agitated and soiling themselves in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorse still is the small dog that becomes paralyzed from intervertebral disc disease. Some dogs can get out for their walks but have hunched stiff backs that make them stagger; or they may have to hop on one leg because of sciatica or a luxated patella.\u003cspan\u003e ‘Tissue build up’ on the spine means spondylosis deformans, Lumbrex is the 'go to' for that condition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of these dogs suffer from diminished circulation to their spinal column that gets even worse in cold wet weather and especially at night, when they often wake their owners with their panting and pacing just to get the blood flowing through their aching joints. Some dogs even wake screaming at night if the stiffness has progressed to neck vertebrae fixations and spasms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-steroidal anti-inflammatories, pain relievers and steroids are often tried for these dogs, but if the pain or paralysis can’t be managed or they go on to become incontinent, many of them end up getting put to sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-inflammatory drugs work like icepacks, drawing blood away from an area, but these dogs need increased circulation to halt the degeneration and inflammation, restore suppleness, and relieve nerve and spinal cord impingement. Physical therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic and PEMF along with a real food diet help greatly to improve blood flow to the spine and so do formulas like Lumbrex, which has been used for these purposes for over 1400 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs circulation improves, older dogs become stronger within the first several days to weeks, allowing drugs to slowly be discontinued. Disc dogs may take a few months to walk again but chiropractic, acupuncture and PEMF expedites and improves results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the maximum benefit of Lumbrex is seen, consider adding \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsage.ca\/products\/voltrex-by-gold-standard-herbs?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=5ec752843\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Gold Standard Herbs Voltrex for dogs\"\u003eVoltrex\u003c\/a\u003e to spark further improvements. For FCE cases or disc dogs where surgical repair was attempted but now the dog is worse, use\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dogsage.ca\/products\/voltrex-by-gold-standard-herbs?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=5ec752843\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Gold Standard Herbs Voltrex for dogs\"\u003e Voltrex\u003c\/a\u003e first. Transition to Lumbrex only once initial improvements are finally seen. Reduce dose in the event of loose stools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"x_isPasted\"\u003eYou can continue both formulas long-term if your dog has ongoing issues like arthritis, spinal calcification, or stiffness. These formulas are safe for extended use and work synergistically to maintain joint and spinal health. Lumbrex, in particular, helps optimize spinal circulation, reducing the risk of connective tissue brittleness and potential complications.  If your dog’s condition stabilizes further, you might consider tapering one formula, but lifelong use is often beneficial for chronic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINGREDIENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGinseng root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinnamon bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepared Rehmannia root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite peony root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLigusticum rhizome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePubescent angelica root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEucommia bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLedebouriella root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLicorice root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyathula root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotopterygium root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Leaf Gentian root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoranthus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurculigo rhizome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural flavoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOSING:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLumbrex is an organically grown concentrated herbal extract in powdered form.
