✨️ What you might not realize about animal chiropractic ✨️
Some quiet thoughts after a busy week…

For years, I’ve been passionately dedicated to supporting horses, dogs, and their humans through chiropractic care. I’ve always owned a human practice alongside my work with animals, which has given me a deep understanding of how the body, mind, and emotions connect across species. This work is not just a technique — it’s about building a deep relationship between people and animals, based on trust and listening.

💛 When you bring your horse, dog, or even yourself to me, it’s never “just a session.” It’s a connection that forms, a space where I carry their story and their well-being in all its complexity. Even when I only see some patients once, they stay in my thoughts long after.

💛 I understand how the body, mind, and emotions are deeply linked. Whether it’s a sensitive horse, a playful dog, or an active human, each session is designed to restore overall balance, release tension, and bring ease to movement. It’s not just about bones or muscles — it’s primarily about caring for the nervous system, the core of true health.

💛 My experience comes from years of running my own human chiropractic practice while also working daily with horses in my care center, supporting everything from sport horses to family pets. This has taught me patience, close observation, and the importance of connecting with each individual.

💛 I’m excited to share that I’m currently pregnant with my third baby, feeling strong and energized to keep supporting you all a little while longer. There are still a few spots available for consultations with me before my maternity leave. After that, Dr. Sheetal will be taking over care for my human patients, bringing the same dedication and gentle approach you’ve come to expect.

💛 Thank you to everyone — humans, horses, and dogs — who trust me enough to be part of your journey toward greater well-being and balance. I look forward to continuing this beautiful path with you, one step at a time.

I mention it a lot a practice the vagus nerve is like the breaks on a car. It should be « turned on » in times if relaxation/digestion/rest.
If it’s unable to activate properly you have chronic stress at your door.
A lot of my techniques whereas it’s on a human horse or dog adresses areas where it can restore proper nerve function esp to this nerve.

Once it can function as it’s designed to you got to keep it up by activating it : for example singing eating slowly, breathing deeply.

Facinating isn’t it ? https://www.facebook.com/share/1FwG4GfS5F/?mibextid=WC7FNe

There is a lot of talk about the vagus nerve and its importance to wellbeing and a calm nervous system. However, balancing the vagus nerve requires more than a quick massage or stretch. While these can be helpful, chiropractors are trained to find the cause of the imbalance and correct that. When the spine is functioning optimally, it puts less pressure on the nerves, including the vagus nerve. Chiropractic adjustments remove interference so the body can once again find balance on its own.
