While itโs probably not at the top of your toxin lists, salt water is a dangerous poison, particularly if you take your dog to the beach! If your dog loves to play on the ocean beach, heed caution. Dogs donโt realize that salt water is dangerous, and excessive intake can result in severe hypernatremia, or salt poisoning. While initial signs of hypernatremia include vomiting and diarrhea, salt poisoning can progress quickly to neurologic signs like walking drunk, seizures, progressive depression, and ultimately, severe brain swelling. Help avoid the problem by carrying a fresh bottle of tap water and offering it to your dog frequently while heโs frolicking on the beach. If you think your pet has ingested salt water, contact the Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661
Dogs can't always express their pain verbally, but their behavior speaks volumes. If your pup is suddenly clingy, aloof, restless, or showing aggression, it may be a cry for help. Be your dog's advocateโcontact us for a comprehensive evaluation and tailored pain management plan.

Our Piezowave treatment has been found extremely safe while greatly accelerating the healing process. This non-invasive treatment is a great solution for musculoskeletal pain.
Another example of โfeeling goodโ after treatment. This mare also had a sore back and upper cervicals. After her adjustment and PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF Corporate - Wellness and Pain Relief) treatment she was falling asleep while we watched her and talked with the owner. Let us know if we can help your horse feel better.
Example of profound relaxation. This is a young, very tense reining horse that had a sore back and tight upper cervical vertebrae. His owner said that he is always โhigh-headedโ and but as I adjusted his spine, I could feel the tension leaving his body and he started to lower his head. He welcomed the adjustment of his upper cervicals and when I put the PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF Corporate - Wellness and Pain Relief) on his poll, he dropped his nose almost to the ground. If you have a horse that needs pain or tension relief, give us a call, we would be happy to help.
This is a good example of how well the average cat does with PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF - Wellness and Pain Relief for Pets). This was a new patient we started yesterday. He was a feral cat the owner rescued and she wants to help him detox and promote health as he settles into his new home. We treated him with a combination of PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF Corporate - Wellness and Pain Relief), photonic acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment and essential oils. Weโll recheck and treat him again next week and lay out a complete plan for health for him so the owner can get him off to a good start and help him have many healthy and happy years in the future.
"Rio" came to us with a sore knee a few weeks ago after injuring her cruciate ligament. The discomfort was significantly limiting her activity and quality of life. The only option her owner was given from the conventional side was surgery. Her owner, Gigi, wanted a more natural approach and sought us out on her own. After instituting a complete, whole-body treatment plan including PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF Corporate - Wellness and Pain Relief), acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, essential oils, nutritional/supplement joint support, and rehab/exercise routine, "Rio" is doing fabulous. Listen to what Gigi has to say about "Rio."
"Toby" has had arthritis in his hips for years and now has arthritis along his spine as well. He has also always been an anxious dog but the stress from his painful joints has made it even worse in recent years. He was snapping at his housemates and just couldn't make it very far on the walks he loves. Amazingly, in spite of how significant and longstanding his problems have been he has made a wonderful turnaround. A combination of PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF Corporate - Wellness and Pain Relief), acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, essential oils, and proper nutrition/joint support has given his body what it needed to heal and make positive changes. Now he is happy again, going on the walks he enjoys so much, accepting his housemates and even relaxing when he comes in for his treatments. Listen to what his owner, Jennifer, has to say.
"Dice" came to us with discomfort and reduced activity stemming from IVDD and spinal spondylosis. He has also had anxiety and severe IBD for most of his life. Today was his fourth session and he has shown one of the most amazing turnarounds I have witnessed over the years. A combination of chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF - Wellness and Pain Relief for Pets) and essential oils have him doing much better. Listen to what his owner, Rebecca, has to say about him and his recovery so far.
I see this family's dog "Deuce" and keep him in great shape with regular adjustments and PEMF (Magna Wave PEMF - Wellness and Pain Relief for Medical Professionals) treatments. Their boys are athletes like my boys and have injuries from time to time, so when Cooper accumulated a few in a short time span this summer they checked with us to see if we could help. Listen to their mom, Jennifer, describe how things have gone. (Sorry for the video, my tech angled the phone to get everyone in instead of doing a landscape view)
