Wholistic Health Care For Your Pet
The wellness alternative…integrating complementary veterinary medicine for a more “wholistic” approach to your pets’ health.
Wholistic Animal Health represents a new, and unique, approach to pet care in Columbus, GA and the surrounding area. The primary objective is to optimize the health of each patient through pro-active means by incorporating a blend of conventional veterinary medicine and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) as well as other complementary modalities.
A wellness plan, specifically tailored to each patient, may include the following: acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, Tui-na or Veterinary Medical Manipulation.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) is an excellent alternative for those pets with chronic conditions that have not responded, or responded poorly, to conventional therapies. Examples include: arthritis, skin problems, disc problems, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, cancer and many others.
ACUPUNCTURE
There are a variety of acupuncture techniques available, such as plain needles, aqua-acupuncture, electroacupuncture and Moxibustion. The technique used will be determined by your pet’s needs and diagnosis. Though acupuncture can be helpful in a wide variety of medical conditions, it can also be used as another tool to maintain comfort in companion dogs and cats and to optimize performance in active, athletic or sports dogs.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
After a thorough workup including physical exam, review of medical records and tests results provided, an herbal formula(s) may be prescribed.
FOOD THERAPY
A home-prepared diet utilizing fresh whole foods can be designed to integrate with your pet’s TCVM treatment plan.
TUI-NA MASSAGE
Tui-na is Chinese Manipulation and Massage. This modality is often used as a form of physical therapy that can be performed at home to enhance the effects of other TCVM therapies. Exercises are prescribed with instructions for home care on an individual basis.

VETERINARY MEDICAL MANIPULATION
Veterinary Medical Manipulation (VMM - referred to as chiropractic in human medicine) can help maintain comfort and function in most musculoskeletal conditions. Though it is a wonderful modality for both lightly active and sedentary companions, it is particularly helpful in active dogs or athletes to help maintain their competitive edge.
