Larry The Raaaaam: Larry continued to improve slowly! We have been treating him twice a week. His care involves electroacupuncture and for the past week his devoted owners have used my laser to treat him twice a day in between acupuncture sessions. They have also used a hand held massager in conjunction with the laser to improve circulation and relax his muscles. At his last session, Larry was comfortable, stood well, and his muscles were relaxed enough to allow nice soft chiropractic adjustments to take place. We actually used the magnawave over his acupuncture needles.

Larry the Ram - a shear delight to be a part of his care. He was treated with non-steroidal medication first. When this was not enough he needed a steroid to help decrease inflammation. Unfortunately, even with the steroid, dexamethasone, Larry was not making progress. He was painful, unable to stand and needing to have his food brought to him.
In Chinese medicine, neurologic cases involve a stagnation of Qi and/or Blood. We utilize acupuncture points above and below the injured area to help move Qi and Blood and relieve the “stuck” part of the acupuncture meridian we are treating.
Larry was compensating for his injury so greatly, that I was unable to perform chiropractic adjustments on him, so we started his treatments with electroacupuncture.

Larry was feeling baaaaaad. He is a 9 month old ram with progressive neurologic symptoms. This video is not him at his worst. He spent his days head tucked in, legs stretched out, hunched back and laying down, unable to get up. His owners were dedicated to do what it would take to help him. Stay tuned to see how Western and Eastern medicine merged with a tremendous amount of love from his owner to help Larry’s unbaaaaalievable recovery.

It’s SHOW TIME! The fall cattle sales are in full swing and the best heifers and steers are settling into their new barns. Remember - we ask a lot of them! Show stock have unique challenges to their immune system and their musculoskeletal development. Chiropractic and acupuncture help with symmetry in development and fluid motion in the show ring and maintaining a healthy immune system. Stay tuned for a quick video to help with stretching and flexibility at home.

As promised… please don’t judge this impromptu video too harshly. We ask cattle ( and horses, sheep, goats, dogs….etc) to move in ways to help them reset the spine. The posterior reflex, or butt tuck, stretches from pelvis to poll. These stretches help to down regulate the nervous system and calm the animal as they become accustomed to performing them. It is much better to allow the animal to adjust or reset themselves versus introducing force when it is not necessary. When your animal cannot perform these reflexes, then a chiropractic adjustment is warranted.

My friend, colleague, mentor Quinley Koch shared this. I can’t explain the season we are in any better than this, so please enjoy her comments. I am seeing this in real time every day!

Fall is Metal season — is your Lung protocol keeping up?

Metal governs Autumn, and Metal's organ is the Lung — the system tasked with adapting first when the season turns, and the first to show strain.

The Lung governs Wei Qi, the defensive layer that meets the outside world first. As fall temperature swings widen, a horse with underlying Lung Qi Deficiency won't compensate as smoothly — skin issues out of nowhere, nasal discharge that comes and goes, a cough that shows up on transition days and clears by afternoon. That's not a diagnosis. That's the Lung telling you where to look.

The horse who "does this every fall" isn't a failure — that's a pattern with a season attached. Get the Lung check on the schedule before the cough does.
