Alternative Care

Alternative Care Options

Alternative veterinary care can be incredibly beneficial for pets, especially those dealing with chronic pain, injuries, or other health issues.

Here are some common alternative therapies:

  • Acupuncture: This traditional Chinese medicine technique involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and pain relief. It’s often used for conditions like arthritis, neurological disorders, and chronic pain.
  • Physical Rehabilitation: Similar to physical therapy for humans, this includes exercises and treatments to improve mobility, strength, and overall function. It can be particularly helpful for pets recovering from surgery or injury.
  • Laser Therapy: Also known as photobiomodulation, this uses light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate healing. It’s commonly used for conditions like arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and wound healing.
