Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM)

TCVM was formed from the Taoist worldview, based on observation of patterns within our known universe. Just as the ancient Chinese observed the changing of seasons, the sinusoidal pattern of sunrise and sunset throughout the year, and the phases of the moon, so did they observe the cycles of birth, death, and disease. Over thousands of years, these philosophies formed the medical system refered to as traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. TCVM modalities include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, food therapy, and Tui-na.

Veterinary Medical Manipulation (VMM)

Veterinary medical manipulation, similar to chiropractic adjustments performed by Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) in humans, is the specific and gentle manipulation of the body to allow the bones, soft tissues, and nervous system to work harmoniously and allow freedom of movement. Medical manipulation is subtle in that it does not require strength or large movements and it improves biomechanics, nerve function, immune response, and restores normal range of motion.

 
 

Canine Physical Rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation in veterinary medicine is similar to physical therapy performed in humans. Physical rehabilitation encompasses a wide range of modalities, including massage, pain relieving modalities, and specific stretches and exercises to help animals regain strength and for pain relief. Physical rehabilitation is beneficial after surgery, illness, or neurological episode, for conservative managment of injury, or for aging animals who are slowing down.
