Understanding Pet Integrative Medicine
At The Corner Vet – Bellaire, we emphasize the use of modern medicine in combination with alternative therapy options for your four-legged family member. We are proud to offer a variety of integrative treatment options aimed at promoting healing and enhancing well-being.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the principle that disruptions in the body’s natural energy flow can lead to illness and discomfort. By inserting specialized needles into specific points along the body, acupuncture stimulates healing and alleviates pain. Our veterinary acupuncture services can address a wide range of conditions, from arthritis to respiratory issues, and can also boost the immune system.
Electroacupuncture
Similar to traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture involves the insertion of needles into specific points, but with the addition of a gentle electric current. The resulting continuous stimulation is particularly effective in managing chronic pain.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine can be a highly effective approach to treating chronic medical conditions. It aims to relieve pain, improve organ function, and enhance natural immunity without the potential side effects of conventional pharmaceuticals. The goal is to naturally restore balance and wellness to the body.
Food Therapy
Food therapy involves the strategic combination of select ingredients to meet each pet’s unique nutritional needs. Tailored to factors such as age, species, and health status, this approach utilizes different ingredients to address specific symptoms and ailments.
Our integrative medicine options are typically used to complement our traditional Western medical services; however, they can also be used independently in certain cases. We carefully consider each pet’s individual case when developing treatment recommendations.
