In 2025, we will be offering an integrative medicine approach to your pets care by including Acupuncture and using Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. This provides a holistic approach to your pet’s healthcare. We aim to blend Eastern practices with the traditional Western medicine provided by your regular veterinarian.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine using the eight principles (yin,yang, interior, exterior, deficiency, excess, cold, or hot) and five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, or wood), requires a different examination of your pet than what you are accustomed to in a primary veterinarian’s clinic. Dr. Meredith will examine your pet’s tongue and pulse, take into account your pet’s personality (do they run up and greet each stranger requiring lots of pets and belly rubs, are they laid-back and friendly and like to eat and sleep a lot, are they a bit standoffish around new people, is your pet afraid of strangers, or are they the leader of the pack ), as well as a host of additional information.
An assessment of your pet’s specific needs will guide the incorporation of various treatments including: acupuncture (dry needling, aqua acupuncture, hemo acupuncture, and electro acupuncture as deemed necessary). Acupuncture is a medically therapeutic procedure that involves the insertion of sterile, single-use needles into the skin, targeting specific points on the body to penetrate the underlying tissues. This practice aims to relieve pain and address various medical conditions. Laser therapy aids in healing musculoskeletal issues, and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy assists in pain management. These treatments will be customized to meet your pet’s individual requirements. This employs an integrative approach which aims to complement the practices of your primary veterinarian. Integrative medicine provides a holistic approach to your pet’s healthcare.
Your pet may be a bit sore or lethargic for a day or two. This is completely normal. It is noteworthy that adverse effects from acupuncture are rare.
