| PetPoint Medical Center and Resort |
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine has been successfully applied for thousands of years, and PetPoint blends acupuncture and Chinese herbal remedies with conventional Western medicine.
Also
known as Eastern Medicine, Integrative Care focuses on incorporating natural
healing methods and engaging the body’s own healing abilities to work toward
better health. The pet’s environment, nutrition, stress factors, and disease
pattern are part of the overall assessment.
At PetPoint our Integrative Care
Practitioners are trained in acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine,
chiropractic, physical therapy, and nutrition.
Prevention of diseases should be
the focus in the patients’ early years, thus necessitating little intervention
until older age. In many situations, the veterinarian will primarily choose
from conventional (Western) medical procedures, technologies, and products
(surgery, diagnostics and drug therapy) and combine these with integrative care
techniques to create an optimal synergistic illness prevention or treatment
plan. This approach mandates a comprehensive understanding of all the healing
modalities and their suitability to the patient and the illness.
