SERVICES
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture aims to restore balance by stimulating specific external points.
Acupuncture is one of the main components of TCVM (traditional veterinary medicine) along with herbal remedies, Tui Na (massage), food therapy and environmental modification.
TCVM holds the belief that the body naturally wants to achieve balance. When the body goes out of balance, disease or injury result. By placement of tiny needles into specific points, acupuncture helps to stimulate the body to heal itself and regain natural balance.
Acupuncture is a relatively pain free process that can also be very relaxing to many patients. It can be used in conjunction with Western medicine in an integrated approach.
Acupuncture has been found to be most helpful with orthopedic pain and injury though we also have great success using its principles to treat allergies, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal problems and anxiety.
ELECTRO ACUPUNCTURE
This is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. This practice augments the use of regular acupuncture, can restore health and well-being, and is particularly good for treating pain.
COLD LASER THERAPY
"Cold" laser therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infared) to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. It is used to reduce pain, increase circulation and reduce swelling as well as accelerate tissue regeneration.
REHABILITATION EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS
Veterinary physical rehabilitative exercises will be recommended where appropriate. These exercises are designed to stretch the muscles, build strength, and condition pets to make them stronger and have greater endurance for the daily activities. These home-based exercises performed daily can benefit patients with chronic arthritis pain, neurologic conditions or those that are out of condition. The benefits of physical rehabilitation are similar to those seen with human physical therapy patients. These include a faster recovery time after orthopedic surgery, faster return to activity after traumatic injury or fracture, improved function after a neurologic injury, an increased ability to take on the daily activities of living, and a greater overall quality of life.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
Depending on the ailment or injury, there are many herbal remedies that can be very effective adjunct treatments.
AQUAPUNCTURE
A form of acupuncture in which liquid vitamin B12, saline or Adequan is injected into the acupuncture points. This helps to stimulate these points on a longer term basis.
