Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use needle insertion at specific points to stimulate healing and alleviate chronic pain. This traditional Chinese medicine technique helps reduce inflammation and manage arthritis while promoting natural pain relief through endorphin release. Patients often show improvement after 3-4 sessions.
Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation
VOM chiropractic adjustments address spinal misalignments and joint issues using a handheld activator tool. This non-invasive therapy treats hip dysplasia, arthritis, and nerve-related conditions while improving mobility and reducing discomfort through targeted spinal adjustments.
Therapeutic Laser Treatment
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing through light energy absorption. Ideal for post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management, this therapy enhances blood circulation and promotes cellular regeneration without pharmaceutical side effects during 3-10 minute sessions.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, oral surgery, and periodontal disease treatment. Our approach addresses tooth extractions, stomatitis management, and preventive care to maintain systemic health through proper oral hygiene practices for all companion animals.
Surgical Services
Full surgical capabilities cover soft tissue and orthopedic procedures using board-certified specialists. The facility supports complex operations with pre-operative diagnostics, anesthesia monitoring, and integrative post-operative recovery programs combining traditional and alternative medicine techniques.
