Chiropractor: Better Napping Position Can Cure Cat Backaches

According to Dr. Rick Bennett, D.C., 75% of all feline back pain is caused by poor sleeping practices.  Cats have a tendency to nap in hyperextended positions, explained Bennett, which can cause pain in the lower lumbar region.

“It’s an easily correctable problem,” said Bennett.  He often prescribes a sleeping brace to cats complaining of backache, which helps ease them into a more healthy napping position.

“They don’t like it at first,” Bennett conceded, “but the results are remarkable.”
