HOLISTIC MEDICINE
The art of healing is complex and always evolving. The development of diagnostic technology is truly amazing. Our new tools enable us to more rapidly and accurately diagnose illness and initiate treatment. But, even with the most advanced techniques, traditional Western medicine cannot cure all problems. We, at the Animal Clinic and Wellness Center, embrace other methods of treatment to better enhance the quality of life of our valued animal companions. We feel these fields of treatment are complementary to Western medicine, not an alternative. These include the ancient arts of acupuncture and herbal medicine, chiropractic, and homotoxicology. By utilizing all forms of knowledge we hope to achieve the greatest success in the care of our pets with the fewest side effects. In  some cases, alternative medicine can treat illnesses that have been resistant to conventional Western medications. In many others, it can work in conjunction with drugs, but allow us to use the drugs more sparingly, so that your pet is less reliant on medications that may have long term side effects.

Another application of complementary medicine is to maintain the health of our pets and, hopefully, avoid or postpone the onset of disease.

Our trained and certified veterinarians can help you decide whether complementary medicine is appropriate for your pet. Please feel free to ask our staff about treatment options  that might improve your pet’s well being.
