One of the bits of feedback that I get regularly from people after their first adjustment is that their body just feels *easier.* Easier to walk, easier to breathe, easier to stand up straight... and then later, as the body continues to achieve better states of ease, folks report that it's easier to sleep, think, walk, run, play - to do all of the things that folks need to do, have to do, and want to do.

Going about one's business while the spine suffers from vertebral subluxation is a bit like walking around with a heavy backpack. Sure, you can do it.... but would life be better if you didn't have to?

But don't just take my word for it. Experiencing is believing (it certainly was for me, with my own first adjustment!)

You may truly have no idea what you're missing, walking around the world wearing a dirty pair of glasses or driving with a dirty windshield. 

Ready to find out? Call us to schedule a spinal assessment, and let's begin to explore the question of whether your spine is moving well, or is compromised (structurally or functionally) and would benefit from getting adjusted.

What does Chiropractic "wellness" care look like for a dog?

Same as for a human: it absolutely depends on the dog and their condition!

Young dogs (less than six years old), I will generally check and adjust for vertebral / extremity subluxationevery month, six weeks, or two months. Depends on what they do for a "job..." some dogs are harder on their bodies than others 😜 (for instance, Cosmos has run into the plate glass window in my French door three times so far, and flipped upside down and landed on his shoulder once... such a typical lab!)

Middle-age dogs (six till about nine) will benefit from getting checked and adjusted about every month, sometimes more frequently.  Sometimes that will depend on whether their younger sibling is beating them up on a regular basis (COSMOS!!!!)

Our senior dogs benefit from getting checked and adjusted more often, as wear and tear creeps in the form of arthritis. I often see senior dogs every two weeks, more often if they are seeing great benefit from care, but not quite holding their adjustments as well. 

My goal at the end of any of these adjustments is to restore a dog to moving, trotting, running comfortably with freedom and ease - so they can do what they want to do, need to do, and have to do without hesitation!

Some common signs that your dog may suffer from vertebral / extremity subluxation include low energy, inability to "settle," not wanting to be petted in certain areas.

How important can this be for our dogs? We only have a limited time with these creatures, as our responsibility to make that time good for them. 

Keeping my dogs healthy and happy is super high on my own priority list 💕 Roxy and Cosmos (and their predecessors: Moose, Izzy, and Sagan) are a huge reason why I undertook this 210 course hour training.

Want my training and expertise to benefit your pup, to help keep them, young, happy, springy, and full of life?

No time like the present to get started.

Call me at 603-886-8300 and I'll give you a ring back asap to get you a spot on my schedule.

I will look forward to hearing from you and your pup!

well, this is somewhat horrifying.

We buy our supplements that we carry (and consume) either directly from the manufacturer or from Emerson Ecologics.

I've always wondered this about buying supplements on Amazon.....

Anybody else remember the Tylenol thing back in the late 70s or early 80s with cyanide? I believe that was the beginning of safety caps / sealed bottles.

“Postural correction is not cosmetic—it’s neurologically restorative.”

Remember, correction takes both you and me. Chiropractic care mitigates vertebral subluxation, and restores the relationship between the vertebral segments - then *your exercises* synergize with that adaptability and freedom to correct the problem. That's our recipe, and we stick to it. 

This is one of the reasons we take periodic follow-up x-rays, to make sure that we are making progress on correction - and if we're not, we change course to get back on track towards that correction 🤓

Balance is one reflection of integrative nervous system adaptation, a function which is pretty important for overall health.

Does people's balance improve with chiropractic care? Hells yes. That's an outcome of care that people report to me all the time. 

Give this a read if you want to know more about the research behind those statements.
