✨️ Pain isn't the problem. Pain is the messenger. ✨️

Pain is the result of fixation (not moving well), inflammation (not circulating well), compensation (not recovering well) or chronic microstress (doing the same thing, the same way, over and over).

For horses, it can look like:

-a change in behavior
-pinning ears
-a swishy tail
-tossing the head
-trouble bending/flexing/collecting/taking a lead
-hesitation or refusal
-offering to hop, buck, kick or bite (ovbiously)

Seeing any of the above during grooming, tacking, groundwork &/or while riding- especially if it's uncharacteristic or a new behavior- usually indicates some level of discomfort. Most often, they are not "just being naughty", but rather they are communicating their need for some well-deserved maintenance.

These are just a few of MANY things that we can help your horse's nervous system work through through gentle, specific, chiropractic care. 🫶

There is nothing more intelligent than our creator's perfect design & the innate that dwells within us.

For me, the jury is still out on AI. I am adamantly against using in place of my own voice & communicating my heart.

I have, however, found it useful for recipes (sourdough everything) and have played around with some graphic design to make some of my creative musings come to life quicker than I can put them together.

What do you use AI for?

What to expect after your dog's first visit?

Usually, this... 😆

When I used to do more doggie housecall visits, it was like clockwork. First, they shake they they just got out of the bath (generally considered a nervous system reset), then they head to the water dish to take a big drink, then they flop down and take a nice nap.

Just like babies who get adjusted, it increases parasympathetic tone (where healing happens) and increases efficiency of the messaging in regards to using the restroom 💩 so often times this becomes an urgent matter right after the adjustment! This is normal and a shift from a painful, tense or stressed place, to the rest, digest, heal and protect place. 💪

Happy Friday!

💤 Why are animals so "sleepy" after an adjustment??? 💤

I usually explain it as a visible shift from the sympathetic state- known as flight/flight/freeze- from my perspective, specifically, a place of tension, stress, or pain... to the parasympathetic response, where resting, digestion, healing and protection happens. 💖

Sympathetic tone is sometimes talked about like it is a bad thing. It is absolutely not- it's necessary for survival! BUT not being able to easily shift between either the sympathetic and parasympathetic responses and being "stuck" on one side of the spectrum will inevitably lead to dysfunction within our bodies and those of our animals.

Chiropractic helps restore that balance, and moves the needle back towards the center so a sleepy pup or horse after an adjustment is a GOOD (and very common) thing. 🫶
