Dogs are so appreciative after their adjustments. They learn so quickly that they feel so much better afterwards. -Dr. Cat Reczek
Happy Wednesday! Sometimes, the patient really gets into the massage and directs me to a specific area... apparently this little guy loves him some pec work! ๐

See MoreHope started animal chiro care due to neurological issues. She was found this way as a puppy. She wasnโt able to use her rear limbs to stand, walk, or run like a normal puppy should and would constantly hop with both rear limbs together when standing.
It was also found upon x-ray, that she has a malformed vertebra in her upper back. Upon visual exam, you could see her back arch up abruptly where this vertebra was located. If that area was the cause, with her starting as a you...ng, puppy, we can start to influence her future development, and everyone has noticed that this area is much more relaxed and we can no longer see that abrupt arch.
The first milestone I wanted to see was for her to start using her rear limbs independently in a walking gait. Weโve seen some glimpses of that over the past few weeks, but this update is simply awesome as sheโs showing independent rear limb usage pretty much the entire time! Yay, Hope! ๐
Animal chiropractic care is highly successful in neurological cases, where there is a lack of communication between brain and body and body back up to brain. It removes those โroad blocksโ so healing can occur to restore nerve flow. In a puppy with some developmental issues, it can also begin to induce more normal development. We have also included some animal reiki with Mike in her care plan, to help streamline her healing and support those nerve signals sending to her rear limbs. And little miss Hope, even though sheโs a busy puppy with things to do, seems to enjoy both treatment modalities.
I canโt wait to see her continued response to care. Stay tuned! ๐

See MoreBrandy has been receiving regular chiropractic care since she injured herself after she tried jumping onto the bed and fell. Brandy has been back to her normal self, except this Sunday her owner noticed she was holding her neck in a funny position.
"Got home Sunday and it was clear there was something wrong with Brandy. Thankfully she had an appointment yesterday. Thank you for taking such good care of my old girl"
I am very happy to provide chiropractic care to Brandy, and... glad to hear she is feeling better! โค๏ธ๐พ -Dr. Cat Reczek
See MoreFrom Bennettโs mom:
โDr. O'Connor, you've never seen my wild boy like this. He was sooooo tired when he got home. He is an indoor dog but slept outside for an hour. He couldn't keep his eyes open for a picture ... lol! He was so excited to see you today. He pulled me to your room again but today he pranced around the room waiting for you. When you left, he sat by the closed door and stared at it. I thought he loved the treats but it must just be you. Thanks for making ...him feel better! ๐พ๐๐พโ
Many pets that we work on figure out that their adjustments make them feel better, so they start to get excited for their visits! โบ๏ธ
Dogs are also much more mindful to take time to rest after they get adjusted too! Many take naps or even relax the day away. ๐ถ
We had some beautiful weather for an outdoor nap yesterday, too! Great idea, Bennett! ๐พ
See MoreDo you think Onyx enjoyed his massage today? ๐ด
He was adjusted by both Dr. Cat and me (she did his neck yesterday for me and I got the rest of him today), then a round of oils down his spine, now a canine massage with Kristina. And Iโm sure heโll convince Mike to do some reiki on him tonight. Heโs going to feel like a whole new man. ๐
Health is wealth! Support it. โบ๏ธ๐โจ

See MoreHoppy Easter! ๐ท๐ฐ๐พ
This happened 2 years ago, just before Easter weekend. Watch as this cottontail that was found by a client of ours, unable to properly use his back legs, responds to each of his animal chiropractic adjustments.
He was originally going to take a trip with me to the wildlife center where I volunteer my services. However, after seeing what the problem was with his inability to hop around properly, I thought an adjustment may be just what he needed! ๐ฐ๐ท๐ผ

Senior pets can enjoy getting a massage, just about as much as the therapist enjoys giving it! โค๏ธ

Jane came in for her first visit today at 20 years young! Never too late to start! We already saw some nice changes in range of motion after her first adjustment. ๐โค๏ธ๐พ

Meet Hercules (mastiff), Noah (GSD), Olive (cavalier), and Rex (Boston). Today was their first visit with Dr. OโConnor! ๐พ
This fantastic foursome ranges from 10 months to 10.5 years. They have an incredibly awesome approach to their health and well-being through raw feeding, quality supplements, weekly swimming, fitpaws exercises, canine sports (everything from obedience to agility to barn hunt to dock diving to herding), AND of course animal chiropractic care! They are such a healthy, happy bunch because of it!
LOVE IT. โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐ผ
Meet Kai!
Kai is an adorably handsome Norwegian Elkhound. He had his very first adjustment today and was such a good boy! โบ๏ธ๐พ -Dr. Cat Reczek
Here's a short story about a bunny for you. I'm grateful for the opportunity and ability to help this little guy. Animal chiropractic is pretty neat! ๐๐ฐโ๏ธ๐ท
