Flow Animal Chiropractic

Kinda tough to articulate in 20 below. ❄️ But next time you’re out walking with your pup, take a photo of their tracks. Great thing to monitor to catch the subtle signs of asymmetry before problems build up and pain starts showing. #animalchiropractic #k9chiro #caninehipdysplasia #hipdysplasia #gaitanalysis #dogwalking

Maybe once I’ve been doing this for more than a few years I’ll stop being amazed by the results we get with chiropractic. But I doubt it. #animalchiropractic #chiropractic #horsechiropractor #equinechiropractic #tsw

My surprise last patient of the day 🐴💫 I was asked if chiropractic could help a horse that had been stumbling ever since she ran into a mirror and down a flight of stairs at just 1 year old. I said it couldn’t hurt to try! When I examined her, I found the most swollen and stuck atlas I’ve ever felt in my career. The change in her post-adjustment was immediate — I loved listening back to the commentary from everyone watching (it felt like the whole stable was there!). Even if you don’t know horses well, just look at her ears, the way she holds her head, and how her eyes soften. It’s a clear shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode. Why does that matter? Healing can’t happen in a high-stress state, and this sweet girl has been hurting for three years. No matter how tired I am, if you tell me there’s another horse that needs help, I’ll probably say yes 🥰 #animalchiropractic #chiropractic #fightorflight #restanddigest #sympathetic #parasympathetic #nervoussystem #horsechiropractor

Why do so many dogs with torn ACLs end up tearing the second one? 👇 I explain it in the reel, but I think I could have been more clear. The cold clearly affected my brain, and my ability to form words! Your brain relies on the spine to move properly to know where the body is in space. When a dog tears a ligament, the body compensates, spreading stress to the hips and spine. 👉 If the spine stops moving well, the brain gets faulty signals about body position.
👉 This can lead to less awareness of the opposite knee, increasing the risk of injury. This might explain why the second ACL often tears—and why it seems less common in animals receiving regular chiropractic care. While this is anecdotal and not yet supported by formal studies, it’s something I observe often. I take detailed notes and plan to turn these observations into a case report—and maybe a full study one day! Chiropractic care isn’t just for pain relief; it helps the body heal and prevent injuries. If your dog has an ACL injury, consider seeing an animal chiropractor. If I’m nearby, I’d love to help—and your dog’s experience could contribute to growing evidence of chiropractic’s benefits.

Odds I end the year with just one dog?

Got inspired to record this while on my way to a stable to see a horse patient. Was halfway through the latest Leila Hormozi podcast when I had to stop and record this. If you have 5 minutes to listen- this is an incredibly informal job advertisement. If you are: ✔️are a good driver ✔️down to work long hours, often out in the elements ✔️love working with animals AND humans Then this job might be of interest to you. And obviously, if you know someone who fits the description of the person I describe in this video, please share it with them 🙏 Thanks for reading! Savannah 🫶 Ps - I know the audio’s a bit off, but that’s kind of the point. Help with editing these videos (so we can get better reach and help more animals) would absolutely be a skill I’d be looking to hire for. PPS - you’d also have to be cool with the Coa riding in the back seat 🐶

Looking forward to recording part 2 of this Icelandic horse’s story 🥰

A chiropractor with low back pain? How embarrassing. How cliché. Posting this here because the social shame of not following through on what I set out to do is usually enough to get me moving towards my goals. The goal here is to commit to a daily yoga practice. Specifically the 30-day Yoga with Adriene Flow Challenge. 🧘‍♀️ If you’re even remotely tempted to join me, I’m going to gift this hat (well, not this one exactly, that’d be gross—lots of horses and dogs have licked this one) to anyone who completes the full challenge. And obviously you have to be part of the Flow Animal Chiro community—meaning either you or your animal is under regular chiropractic care. Can’t have a poorly adjusted animal walking around associating themselves with my brand! Let me know if you want to join in. I’ll send you the link to the first session. No time limit - finish the challenge and the hat is yours 🫶

This has the feel of something I’ll be happy to look back on one day. For now I’m embracing the struggle of just trying to figure it out. Bring it on, 2025.

I’m not afraid to say it. Chiropractic decreases road fatalities.
