Advanced Spinal Manipulation “Chiropractic” & Cranio Sacral
Spinal Manipulation is the actual term used by vets. "Chiropractic" is a term reserved specifically for use by human Chiropractors; the same goal is reached in locating areas of the animal’s nervous system that has fallen out of communication, and re-establishes neuronal communication and thus induces healing. It is singularly the most simple, effective and safe healing modality in veterinary care to date. Check out the other modalities we use that your pet can benefit from !
Dental Cleaning - NO Anesthesia!
Non-Anesthetic dental procedure and will provide each patient with a safe, warm environment necessary to provide the best health care possible. We don't offer 'cage seating' so your pet is handed arm to arm..meaning its by appointment only and your pet is taken immediately and then returned to you directly...you speak directly with the hygienist to review your pets specific experience and discuss ongoing dental care!
Radiology
An important diagnostic modality we use to make an accurate diagnosis on our patients is radiography, or X-rays. X-rays can facilitate a medical diagnosis by allowing us to visualize things such as organ size, volume, placement as well as any variations ( normal or abnormal) of skeletal structures ( including fetal counts). We have board certified Radiologists on stand-by in the event we need an immediate consultation & interpretation.
Reproductive Services
Providing reproductive services to responsible breeders. Monitoring ovulation timing, semen collection, shipping, analysis and longterm storage, artificial and transcervical insemination, ultrasound confimrmation, nutritional counseling, and more.

Class III & IV Laser Therapy
Treatments are painless as laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tissue. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. Check out the video on how laser can help your pet! https://acuvetdoc.com/videos-of-services
Food Therapy
There is truth to the old saying: “food is the medicine you take every day.” This belief in the healing power of food is one central to Chinese Medicine, where food therapy is often utilized alone or (more often) in conjunction with other modalities to treat disease patterns. It is the art and science of tailoring diet plans to individual patients based on their unique inborn tendencies, age, species, geographical location, personality and current disharmony or disease process.
Palliative & End of Life Care
Integrating Western with Eastern techniques in providing palliative and end-of-life care gives us more options to treat the clinical signs of disease and preserve a longer and better quality of life in pets struggling with aging, chronic and life limiting illnesses. https://youtu.be/P2zQbsEGh_Q

Herbal Therapy
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine and western herbal therapy are excellent alternatives to the use of many conventional chemical drugs. Plant medicine is the origin from where most drugs were developed, and this approach often works synergistically with the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Herbal medications are typically safer and can be more effective in the treatment of many medical conditions, especially in the management of chronic disease. https://acuvetdoc.com/videos-of-services
Tui-na
Massage and bodywork affects all body systems, giving emotional, physical and spiritual benefit. Massage can specifically help to increase circulation, disperse pain, relieve tense muscles, stimulate the immune system, aid in overall digestion and the removal of toxins from the body, and can help to calm anxieties.
Moxabustion
Chronic disease conditions are now the common target of veterinary therapy. Moxabustion is the burning of herbals and placed over acupuncture needles to heat them and drive that heat into the acupuncture point or simply over the acupuncture points without the needles. We use this modality as an adjunct to our primary therapies; https://acuvetdoc.com/videos-of-services
