Pets are Part of the Arthritis Team!

Every dog is a Service Dog! As the saying goes, “A Dog is a Man’s Best Friend”. For those with arthritis, there can be challenges of doing the most simple things. When you must care for your Pet, the responsibility drives everyone to stay active, and engaged. That effort is essential to stay in front of the potentially disabling effects of Arthritis. Your Dog is a part of your family, and an essential part of the Team. Studies have shown that interactions with your Pets improve pain, activity level, and emotional stability. Yes, Fido is a Service Animal, and you should thank her for being such an important member of the Family.

This Jingle Bell run, celebrate your great relationship with your Friend. The ShimSpine team will be taking pictures of Jingle Bell Run Participants and their pets. Be sure to get your picture taken, and look for it here!
