Say hello to Gizmo! This sweet little guy came in on referral from his veterinarian for support with discomfort in his left hind leg. His visit focused on gentle chiropractic assessment and care to help him move more comfortably and confidently.
I’m so thankful to be part of Gizmo’s care team alongside his dedicated owner and attentive veterinarian—collaborative care like this is exactly what helps our patients feel their best. 🐾

Meet Poppy, a sweet hunt seat mare who’s been dealing with a lingering right‑hind gait issue after an injury 5–6 years ago. 🐴
Her owner and farrier noticed she was becoming progressively more uncomfortable picking up her hind feet, and she seemed tense and painful when her back and hind legs were handled. Recently, her owner decided it was time to add animal chiropractic care to Poppy’s toolbox.
Through gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments, we focused on restoring motion in restricted joints so her body can move more freely and compensate less. Many horses with chronic hind‑limb issues experience improved comfort, range of motion, and overall performance when back pain and stiffness are addressed.
If your horse has a “hitch in their giddy‑up,” is difficult for the farrier, or just doesn’t feel quite right under saddle, animal chiropractic care may be a great addition to their routine—alongside regular veterinary and farrier work.

Black Cherry is BACK. 🍒
We just restocked everyone’s favorite Black Cherry LMNT can, along with all the other flavors you love—fully loaded and ready to grab at the front desk.

Even more exciting: we now have LMNT cans in Black Cherry Lime and Watermelon flavors. I tried the Black Cherry Lime today and it’s officially my new favorite—super crisp, not too sweet, and perfect for this warm February weather.
With temps jumping up, don’t wait to hydrate. Proper electrolytes help you stay ahead of fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps, and that “worn out” feeling that sneaks up on busy days playing sports, working outside at home, or in the office.

Swing by Primal Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, stock up on LMNT sticks or grab a cold can, and keep your hydration dialed in while the weather’s this nice.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Blaze, and what a guy he is!

He’s a fantastic farm dog who takes his job herding cattle – and being man’s best friend – very seriously. 🐾 Out in the fields he’s all focus and work ethic, but in the clinic he’s calm, gentle, and incredibly well behaved, which makes him a joy to adjust and a perfect example of what good care and a strong bond can do.

I grew up with a border collie myself, and while every animal is special, border collies will always hold a special place in my heart for their intelligence, sensitivity, and eagerness to work right by our side.

So grateful for Blaze and all the hardworking farm dogs who come to Primal Chiropractic to stay comfortable, move well, and keep doing the jobs they love for years to come.

Meet Montana 🐾
Montana is an 11-year-old sweetheart who came to see us after a previous ACL injury. Her visits focus on keeping her hips comfortable, her mobility strong, and her tail wagging for as long as possible!

Animal chiropractic care can be especially helpful for pets like Montana who:
• Have a history of orthopedic injuries (ACL/CCL tears, fractures, or surgeries).
• Are slowing down with age, having trouble with stairs, jumping into the car, or getting on the couch.
• Show stiffness after rest, warm up slowly on walks, or seem “off” in their gait.
• Are active or working dogs who you want to keep performing at their best and help prevent future strain.

If your dog fits any of these scenarios—or you’re just noticing subtle changes in how they move—this is a great time to get them evaluated rather than waiting for things to get worse. Early, proactive care helps keep seniors like Montana comfortable and mobile through their golden years.
📩 Send a message or call the clinic to schedule an exam and see if animal chiropractic care is a good fit for your pet.

Say hello to Shealee and Finnlee! These two were our very first animal clients and we had a blast working with them. The coolest part is that their owner, Tammy, was Primal’s very first human client as well. Don’t be fooled, we might have been even more pumped than they were for their adjustment. If you’re curious about animal chiropractic care, feel free to message us or give the clinic a call!
