Integrated Therapy Services for Your Pets
I use a whole-body, integrative approach to veterinary medicine to provide you with a comprehensive array of treatment options for your furry friends. My integrated therapy services incorporate conventional diagnostics, drugs, as well as other holistic modalities aimed at ensuring the health, joy, and vitality of your pet.
These therapies are highly effective in the treatment and management of a broad spectrum of chronic and acute conditions and illnesses, ranging from minor injuries and musculoskeletal problems to complex neurological issues.

Electroacupuncture – Electroacupuncture can be used during acupuncture treatments and involves the use of mild electric stimulation at specific acupuncture needle points to potentiate the effect.
Laser Therapy – Also known as photobiomodulation, this process involves using light sources of specific wavelengths to promote wavelengths to provide pain/inflammatory relief and promote tissue healing.
