Preventive Care

Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
During our initial session, our patient's prior records, diagnoses and x-rays can be reviewed and discussed. A physical exam and history of the patient's problem is essential. Treatment options are discussed and if time allows there may be an initial acupuncture treatment.

Illness Treatment

Pain Management
2) Neuroendocrine: Neurotransmitters such as beta-endorphin, met-enkephalin, serotonin, and Substance P modulate the effects of acupuncture, resulting in physiologic effects on the body. The key to this theory is the proposal that structures other than nerves are responsible for some of acupuncture's effects. Studies have shown that veins and cerebral spinal fluid carry neurotransmitters and hormones that mediate effects such as pain control. Increasing white blood cell levels is a known effect of acupuncture that probably involves both neuroendocrine transmitters and the nervous system.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Therapeutic Laser: Therapeutic lasers have become very popular and important in veterinary medicine and physical rehabilitation. A very common question is “How does the laser work?”. Well, it’s all physics! Therapeutic lasers use a specific wavelength of collimated light to penetrate through the skin and into the surrounding tissues. The light energy then excites the molecules and cells around the blood vessels to induce vasodilation. The opening of the blood vessels and surrounding veins and lymphatics helps move inflammation and swelling out and healing factors into the affected tissues. This is valuable for treating acute injuries and chronic conditions of the muscles, ligaments and bones. The therapeutic laser can also aid with wound healing including conditions such as post-surgical wounds, burns, open or non-healing wounds, and lick granulomas.
Injury Treatment
Veterinary acupuncture & herbs can effectively treat arthritis, hip/back/neck/elbow pain, intervertebral disc disease, paralysis & other neurological problems, sprains & strains, skin problems, gastrointestinal problems, allergies, some cases of organ failure and cancer, feline asthma, chronic illnesses and more. Success can be seen in over 80% of patients who have completed their acupuncture sessions, depending on the severity, nature, and time course of the condition. In many cases, veterinary acupuncture & herbs can help where conventional veterinary medicine and surgery cannot. Veterinary acupuncture & herbs are great

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
We do not routinely use conventional drugs for most conditions. Many times there are Chinese herbal remedies for the treatment of conditions where no conventional drugs exist. For instance, there are Chinese Herbs for the treatment of viral infections as well as bacterial infections. Antibiotics can't do that. This is not to say conventional medicines are bad. Many times conventional and alternative remedies are used together.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Animals) have been practiced in China for thousands of years. Since the late 70's, the study and practice of acupuncture, both for humans and animals, has gained greater understanding and acceptance in the U.S. and abroad. The American Veterinary Medical Association has called acupuncture an integral part of veterinary medicine. Additionally, the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health have officially recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for many conditions & diseases. There is overwhelming scientific data supporting the efficacy of acupuncture. Since 1960, there have been at least 3425 articles published on the efficacy of acupuncture. For example, in a study entitled "Observations on acupuncture therapy of chronic osteoarthritis in dogs" by Janssens, dogs that were not responding to conventional therapies and for which euthanasia was recommended showed improved mobility and motion with acupuncture treatment. A recent (2005) article in the Wall Street Journal stated, "Acupuncture cuts arthritis pain-- Acupuncture has been found to relieve knee pain and dysfunction caused by osteoarthritis, according to the largest clinical study of the treatment to date..." Rather than just an
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
There is no exact answer. Acupuncture and herbs can be used for many conditions, but the percentage of success will vary with the condition being treated. Common conditions that you can expect fairly high success rates on include things such as immune problems, auto-immune diseases and allergies, hip dysplasia, interverterbral disc disease, veterbral spondylosis, and general arthritis. The list goes on with any musculo-skeletal problem. Most people tend to lump acupuncture into the pain control department but that simply isn't true. Chronic kidney disease and some other organ problems will often respond to complimentary treatments. Other conditions that can respond but many people don't think about are things like epilepsy, infertility and reproductive problems, abnormal emotional problems, lick granulomas and almost any kind of infectious process just to name a few.

Underwater Treadmill: Water therapy is a very useful component of veterinary physical rehabilitation. An underwater treadmill utilizes the warmth, buoyancy and resistance of water to help a patient achieve a relatively normal gait. An underwater treadmill differs from swimming because it allows an animal to move in a natural walking pattern. This is very important for patients that are recovering from orthopedic surgery, have arthritis or some neurological conditions. An underwater treadmill can also provide muscle and cardiovascular strengthening for aging patients as well as conditioning for agility, performance and working dogs.
