Acupuncture is an ancient, gentle form of medicine used to promote healing by balancing energy flow through the body. It can be used to treat musculoskeletal problems such as osteoarthritis and injuries, nervous system disorders such as intervertebral disk disease and epilepsy, in addition to gastrointestinal and urinary problems. It can also be part of a pain management program. Most animals are very accepting of the treatment, especially in the stress-free environment of home. I generally recommend 4 to 5 weekly treatments initially to assess the affects. Many animals are able to be maintained with monthly treatments.

Chiropractic is a system of medicine used to restore and maintain health through an optimally functioning nervous and musculoskeletal system. Pain or dysfunction in one part of the body may lead to problems in other parts of the body. Chiropractic is used to treat animals with lameness or back pain, muscle spasms and stiffness or urinary incontinence. I use very gentle adjusting techniques which are safe even for senior patients.

Holistic consultations encompass an integrative approach using a combination of therapies such as diet, nutritional supplements and herbal medicine. Feeding a more natural diet can benefit numerous ailments such as chronic ear and skin issues, gastrointestinal disease and obesity to name a few. Herbal medicine is a gentle treatment used for a wide variety of conditions to restore a healthy balance to the body. It can be used to treat conditions such as kidney or liver disease and cancer, often alongside conventional medicine.
