Digestion

Digestion is very important for all of us. If we do not get the full use of our food, then we do not get the nourishment. Eating processed foods or high calorie/low nutrient content foods, we consume calories, but not the life of the fresh foods so desperately needed to run our bodies. This goes for humans and animals. Adding in more digestive enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, live, whole foods is what we strive for. We recommend adding Super Foods for those that cannot obtain and prepare all fresh, organic meals on their own. Many of the body conditions that we work with START IN THE GUT!

Immune Function & Fatigue

A lot of my clients/patients do not realize that the symptoms they are experiencing are connected with infection and auto-immune disturbances. Infection can take over from a GUT that is in dysbiosis (imbalance of the "bugs" that live in our gut). Infection (virus, bacteria, fungal, etc.) can "take over" when our systems are weakened by stressors. Stressors come in many forms--Chemical, Emotional, Physical and Electrical.

The immune system may also be in a state of "Auto" immune dysfunction. This means that you or your pet's immune system is attacking itself ! INFLAMMATION with a long list of symptoms is the result.

One of our specialties is to help you sort this all out.

Detoxification

Life on planet earth can be a toxic one. We and our animals are exposed to quite an assortment of dangerous poisons. Some are avoidable and some are not. Many of our patients make great health gains after being guided through gentle detoxification. Dietary changes, supplementation with homeopathic, herbal, super foods and more can help you "filter" out some of these cellular debris. Our animals are low to the ground and are also exposed to poisons we forget about. The mix of vaccinations, flea pesticides and medicines can also be something that we can help support for detox.

Why Pet Chiropractic?

You may see your pet having trouble going up and down stairs, jumping in or out of the car. Or maybe you saw them have an injury. Once you have ruled out fracture or other emergency conditions, the sooner that they are adjusted the quicker they can heal, because after an injury, scar tissue and myofasicial memory can cause that joint to heal incorrectly. With my own dog, I adjust him weekly--just because of life's activities--I want to keep him "tuned up". Chiropractic is not just for getting rid of pain from misaligned joints, but also studies show that the adjustments help stimulate the system and increase circulation.
