Alternative Therapy

For many pet parents, having the option to choose alternative therapy for their furry family members is a huge benefit. At HEAL Veterinary Hospital, we’re pleased to offer a number of these integrative treatment options for a more well-rounded approach to animal health care.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture operates under the theory that when the body’s natural energy source is disrupted, pain and illness can occur. Special acupuncture needles are inserted into targeted points along the body to promote healing and reduce pain. Acupuncture can be used to treat everything from arthritis to respiratory problems and just about anything in between. It can also be used to boost the immune system and achieve greater balance.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses the power of light to naturally reduce pain and accelerate healing. We can use laser therapy to address a wide variety of conditions, from chronic pain to dental disease. Laser therapy is quick, painless, and proven to be highly effective. It also does not require the use of medication or surgery, which makes it ideal for sick or older pets.

Homeopathic Medicine

Homeopathy is based on the idea that the same substances which cause illness in the body, when used properly, can also counteract those same symptoms. Homeopathic medicine uses natural ingredients to help strengthen the body’s ability to ward off illness and restore a sense of balance. It is especially useful in managing chronic health conditions to improve the patient’s overall quality of life.

The holistic medicine options at HEAL Veterinary Hospital are typically used in conjunction with our traditional Western medical services. They can also be used as standalone treatments in certain cases. Your pet’s unique needs will be carefully considered when we are developing our treatment recommendation.
