Brought my (then) 1 yr old border collie in because she was moving slowly, wasn't running, and was huffing a lot. After a workup including X-rays, it was determined she had a back issue. I got several options, including surgery, physical therapy, acupuncture, and medications. I was given benefits and drawbacks of each. I chose PT and acupuncture. It worked great. My dog is now five, with full mobility, and shows no signs of distress with her previous injury.
