Meet Harley!

Harley’s owner came to me after he was tested and diagnosed for EPM back in May.

EPM or Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis is caused by a protozoa called Sarcocystis Neurona. This protozoa enters the horse’s body and then travels to the spinal cord and brain causing neurological signs such as mild to severe lameness, weakness, muscle atrophy and cranial nerve deficits to name a few.

After one treatment, Harley’s owner noticed a huge improvement.
“I rode Harley and holy crap what a change. He was chill, focused, not worried about everything happening outside the ring and wasn’t as stiff as he has been either. I 100% noticed a difference, I had my boy back.”

We are so happy Harley is already feeling better!

Meet RT!

RT came to me last week for a right front lameness. He is headed to the world show and needed help ASAP! He did not show any specific areas that could be the issue. He was treated with magic cushion in that foot with no luck.

FUN FACT: if there is ever a mysterious front limb lameness and you cannot find a specific area in the limb that could be the issue, a majority of the time the lameness is affected by a restriction in the neck.

After two acupuncture and spinal manipulation treatments, RT is sound and off to the world show! Good luck!

Hillookin is a 3 year old Standardbred gelding that came to me for back pain. The trainer was looking for additional therapies as he was not seeing quite the improvement he wanted with western medicine. Hillookin showed a lot of back soreness throughout his thoracolumbar and lumbosacral vertebrae. Electro-acupuncture was used in the lumbosacral area and dry needles were placed in the thoracolumbar area.

In the first picture you can see he is yawning which is a sign he is really enjoying the treatment! Stayed tuned for his progress!

Happy New Year everyone! Just a friendly reminder that as we enter the new year so does colder weather! As much as the cold weather stinks, it is especially hard on our older family members. A lot of our four legged friends with arthritis and joint soreness can benefit from acupuncture and herbal therapy. Call and/or text to schedule an appointment today!
