Dr. Kyla
came into our lives after some rather unpleasant behavior developed in my
normally sedate 4y.o. gelding, Cosmo.
He’d had some left shoulder area stiffness and was not able to flex
fully to the left in his workouts. This
was something his trainer and I just assumed was part of his conformation and
figured we’d have to work around it. His
dressage training continued on until he developed another symptom. He began to buck whenever asked for an upward
canter transition. It was sporadic
initially, but over the course of a couple of weeks became routine and more
energetic. He also began to get “trippy”
and went to his knees several times! I
was at a loss and, quite frankly, a little scared to ride him for fear of being
bucked off.
Upon my
vet’s advice, I called Dr. Kyla and scheduled an appointment. I must point out at this time that there was
probably no greater skeptic in the world than me so I didn’t have much faith in
this approach. Dr. Kyla showed up and
proceeded to do a very thorough evaluation – watching Cosmo move in all gates
and directions and making little notes on her pad. She then performed a hands-on examination and
explained everything to me that she was seeing and feeling (very
helpful!). It turned out Cosmo had some
pretty bad alignment issues in his croup area just above the tail – so much so
that he had been holding his tail off to one side. Dr. Kyla loosened up that area with massage
and then proceeded to adjust all of his “icky” spots including his lower neck
and shoulder area. After 24 hours of
rest my horse was happily back at work, moving willingly and freely! He was so light on his feet that we virtually
floated through that first ride! I have
to admit, this was pretty convincing! We
resumed our training and, with one follow up “mini” adjustment 8 weeks later,
he’s been symptom free!
I’m
happy to report Cosmo hasn’t bucked ONCE since his initial adjustment and has
been fully flexible and is bending beautifully in both directions. He’s working his heart out again and appears
happy to be doing so with the full use of his body and the willingness that
made me fall in love with him in the first place. I’m so thrilled to have found Dr. Kyla and
will continue to make chiropractic care a routine part of my equine athlete’s
life. Thank
you Dr. Kyla!"

"This is my horse Furrarri. After 2
years of Chiropractic work on the rider, Kyla was able to start work on my
horse because of her expertise. She has made his poll much easier to handle,
and has helped him to move free and easy by the use of her adjustments. He is the horse I show dressage with at training level. Thanks
Kyla for helping me to feel better and my horse too. We are a better team
because of you!"

Lwood is a
lab/shepherd mix who will be 13 years old on March 22nd. We came to Dr. Kyla
because of his digestive issues and mobility issues. My Healing Touch
Practitioner suggested we try chiropractic care and since I have been
seeing a chiropractor for 30+ years, I thought I would give it a try
for Lwood.
I
have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of accidents in the
house since he started his chiropractic care with Dr. Kyla. In
addition, he has much more normal bowel movements. We had spent nearly
6 months and several
thousand dollars on tests, supplements, antibiotics and vet care with
really limited results. He was on prescription food (Science Diet ID)
for 6 months and was loosing weight and muscle mass. I have now been
able to take him off of the prescription food and he is gaining back
some of the lost muscle mass, especially in his rear legs. I am
totally amazed at how much he has improved. His mobility is better,
his digestion is better and my whole family is happier and less
stressed.

"I came to Kyla about 3 years ago in chronic knee pain from a
previous surgery. At times I could
barely walk without suffering intense pain.
With acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments on a consistent basis I
can now work and play without pain. I
also suffer from bulging disks in my lower back. Kyla is able to adjust my back and keep it
healthy preventing painful surgery. She
is able to correct the subluxations without harsh adjustments which makes it
easier for me to “let go” and allow the adjustment. Acupuncture treatments for the arthritis in
my hands and the bunion on my foot keep me active in all seasons. Over the past few years I have suffered a
couple broken bones. The healing was so
much faster using acupuncture on the affected injury. I feel very fortunate to have Kyla “in my
corner” to help me bike and water ski in the summer, x-country ski and snowshoe
in the winter and competitive swim and hike year round. At 61 years old I need to keep moving, and
Kyla definitely helps me do that and pain free too!"

"My wife and
I both see Dr. Kyla on a monthly basis. We feel she is an excellent
chiropractor. Not only does she give us excellent adjustments, but she is also
very knowledgeable concerning our muscle and skeletal issues. She has
really been proficient in diagnosing our problems, and referring us when she
feels a problem is outside of the chiropractic field. In addition, Dr. Kyla is
a skilled listener. We highly recommend her services!! (My wife's
racquetball games have greatly improved after seeing Dr. Kyla.)"

"Thank you Kyla for performing basically a miracle with Lacey our
Palomino QH. Lacey's mood went from somewhat unable and unwilling to work to
calm and cooperative! Leah pulled an 8th and 10th at the State Show and also
performed well at the Palomino Breed Show in August. Thanks Kyla!"
