October 2024

Dear Clients, 

Happy Fall y’all! Halloween is a favorite holiday of kids who enjoy candy, pet parents who love to dress up the pups, and adults who enjoy scary movies! 

I love how quickly Halloween decorations begin to pop up the minute it’s October. Cob webs, skeletons, and Jack o’ lanterns begin to appear. Pumpkin spice is back in coffee shops, the smell of cinnamon brooms is everywhere and every once in a while you can feel a slight crispness in the air (I can’t wait!).

Speaking of skeletons, let’s keep with the theme this month and discuss Animal Chiropractic! 

Skeletons at Halloween

Animal Chiropractic is a treatment that aims to help balance your pet’s neuromuscular skeletal system.  The skeletal system is made up of joints that when moving normally allow appropriate neurologic function throughout the body. When an injury or illness causes restricted range of motion in these joints, the neurologic system is prohibited from functioning correctly resulting in pain and dysfunctional movement.
