Acupuncture

 

 Acupuncture is one component of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). It involves the insertion of very thin, flexible sterile needles into specific points on the body to produce a therapeutic effect. Acupuncture can be used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and gastrointestinal disorders, and quality of life improvement for geriatric and hospice patients.

Laser Therapy

 

Laser therapy, also called photobiomodulation therapy, is used to accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain and inflammation. We use laser therapy after most dental and surgical procedures and as an adjunct treatment for chronic and acute conditions such as arthritis, ear infections, and wound healing.
