Healing For Dogs

A dear friend came into the office not long ago carrying her small dog, Rebble, in her arms. Rebble had just had a seizure. She could barely walk. My friend had already taken her to an animal neurologist and left without answers or help.

I don't often do zone stimulation work on animals, but something said to try. So I checked Rebble's nervous system, found the imbalances, and provided what I could.

She started eating again that day. Within a short time she was strong enough to use the restroom on her own. A few sessions in, she jumped off my chiropractic table and ran circles around the office with what I can only describe as puppy energy, leaving a few enthusiastic reminders on the floor in the process.

I worked on Rebble once, nearly a year ago. She has been doing well ever since.

I think about this story often, not because it was dramatic, though it was, but because of what it demonstrated so cleanly. Nothing I did healed Rebble. What I did was find where the interference was and support the conditions that allowed her own system to recover. The life force that runs through a small dog is the same one that runs through all of us. It doesn't need to be given anything it doesn't already have. It needs the obstacles removed.

That's the work. In every patient, human or otherwise, the capacity to heal is already present. My job is to help it move more freely.

Rebble figured out the rest on her own.
