Integrative Medicine Complements Traditional Western Medicine

Monday, August 9th, 2010

The veterinarians of the Elkhorn Veterinary Clinic recognize that their clients have diverse views with regard to treatment regimes for themselves as well as for their pets. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are used by many of our clients as either the primary therapy choice or adjunct therapy for their own medical conditions. Pets and performance animals can also benefit from these non-Western based medical treatments.

Acupuncture can help relieve the symptoms and lessen the discomfort for many of the health problems that afflict our dogs, cats, and horses.

A partial list of problems which can be successfully treated with acupuncture therapy include acute musculoskeletal inflammation, acute or chronic back or neck pain, arthritis, allergies, reproductive disorders, dermatologic disorders, gastro intestinal disorders, and neurologic disorders.

Appointments can be made at our clinic, in your home, or at your farm. Feel free to call to discuss treatment options with one of our veterinary acupuncturists.
