Our Integrative Medicine Services
- Acupuncture Initially used for preventive holistic care, acupuncture helps maintain the body's balance, making it less prone to injury or disease. Though now commonly sought for managing pain, inflammation, arthritis, neurological disorders, and chronic pain, acupuncture remains an excellent option for overall wellness. After a thorough assessment of each patient, we customize the approach, which may include dry needling (the most common form), aquapuncture, or electroacupuncture.
- Herbal Medicine Herbal remedies offer a natural complement to traditional treatments, supporting your pet’s natural healing processes. Our veterinarians craft customized herbal therapy for conditions such as digestive issues, immune support, and joint health. Trained in the safe use of herbs, we ensure optimal results with minimal side effects.
- Laser Therapy Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses light energy to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Ideal for pets recovering from surgery or injury, as well as those dealing with chronic pain or arthritis, laser therapy accelerates healing and improves mobility without relying on medications.
