Alternative Medicine

The philosophy of holistic medicine is to look at all aspects of the entire animal and approach their health and wellness with a variety of different treatments. Holistic veterinarians use both conventional and alternative therapies in their patients. They recognize that modern veterinary techniques are necessary in caring for an animal but also believe that alternative medicine modalities have a role as well.

Our hospital uses a type of alternative medicine called MS manipulation to care for pets that are injured or suffering from lameness. This type of holistic medicine is useful for reducing pain and increasing mobility for pets in all stages of life, whether they are athletic or geriatric. MS manipulation involves gentle mobilization of the spinal joints and extremities to restore proper biomechanics and nervous system function in your pet. This type of alternative medicine can provide increased energy, reduced pain, and wagging tails after just a few treatments. 

Let your veterinarian know if you have interest in chiropractic care for your pet.
