Holistic healthcare is a system of evaluating the physical, emotional and environmental aspects of a patients condition in order to offer a multifaceted approach to healing. Holistic treatments may include supplements, acupuncture, herbs, dietary improvements, homeopathic remedies, chiropractic treatment, physical therapy or conventional medical therapies. Holistic care recognizes that the immune system and the vital force are the true healers of the body. Sometimes drugs and surgery are needed and other times the risks and side effects outweigh the benefits of these conventional treatments. In many cases holistic modalities can work with conventional treatments for the best interest of the patient.
Holistic care is for all ages!
Animals and owners like to come to Holistic Veterinary Consultants. The atmosphere is calm and comforting with no slippery floors or stainless steel tables to get on. Dogs are examined on the floor or on a comfortable bed or even on the sofa with their owner, if they prefer. Cats may be examined and treated in a comfortable basket with a warm towel. Aromatherapy scents and healthy treats for you and your pet make the holistic experience something to look forward to! There are no antiseptic scents, surgical smells, or radiation in the building. There are no distressed pets or barking dogs in the background. Just you and your pet will get the doctor’s undivided attention for your appointment.
