Ever wondered what arthritis actually looks like?
This was a performance horse who was shown for many years. Arthritis is actually caused by too much movement in one segment, leading to the body laying down extra bone to prevent what it perceives as hyper mobility. Long term, the result is pain, diminished motion globally, and arthritis throughout the body. Regular adjustments maintain proper movement of the joints and have been shown to decrease the progression and severity of arthritis.

I commonly get asked if it’s better to have a massage before or after an adjustment. I almost always recommend after! The adjustment changes neurology and causes immediate muscle activation. Ideally, having a massage 48 hours post-adjustment will have the biggest impact by allowing the body to adapt neurologically to the adjustment and starting to relieve muscle spasm.

The power that MADE the body HEALS the body.
As a chiropractor, my goal is to restore motion to dysfunctional areas to restore nerve communication, thereby giving the body the ability to heal. I am not treating anything; the body’s innate is healing itself. The adjustment just gives the body the tools it needs.

Chiropractors are FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGISTS.
We’re experts in the musculoskeletal system because we use that as our way to affect the nervous system. An adjustment induces motion into a restricted area, causing immediate changes to the body’s neurology. Why is this important? Because an adjustment can affect EVERYTHING. The nervous system controls everything in the body, so an adjustment changing neurology can affect everything in the body.

It’s important to make sure the chiropractor is licensed and certified to protect the health of your animal, but also because the neurological changes only occur with a SPECIFIC adjustment to an area of restriction.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!

There should always be motion throughout the entire spine. When standing behind a horse, you should be able to see the entire spine move when you wiggle them side to side. If there’s an area where the “wiggle” stops, that area likely needs to be adjusted.

My old man has some pretty bad arthritis in his knees, so his treatments usually include one or both of these in his adjustment. Manual adjustments to the carpals (knees) can be pretty painful when there’s a lot of arthritis. In those cases, I typically use carpal traction instead, as it produces the same results and is much more tolerable. The front limb stretch is good for the entire leg, and can be beneficial even if they had an issue in the neck, not the leg.

I was listening to the radio the other day and the hosts were talking about dream job postings. They were talking about jobs like a chocolate taster, mattress tester, amusement park ride tester. Every job they mentioned sounded fun, but to be completely honest, I wouldn't give up my job for anything else.

I 💕 LOVE 💕 being an animal (and human) chiropractor. Seeing the transformations patients make and helping their bodies heal so they can live life to the fullest is the most rewarding, fulfilling profession. You're always told when you're young that if you find a job you love, you never work a day in your life. I can confidently say that's true! ☺️ So thank you to all my wonderful patients and owners that make getting up every morning a dream come true.

🔹Schedule playtime with other dogs
🔹Find a fun dog park (Omaha has a lot!)
🔹Take your dog to daycare

IT'S PI DAY!!! 🥧 The nerd (and pie enthusiast) in me loves pi day, which is celebrated on March 14 because the first numbers of pi are 3.14. It's a travesty our four-legged family members aren't usually included in the celebrations, so I've found some recipes so they can be!
