Acupuncture/TCVM Consults
-
Our practice utilizes a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) approach, offering a unique perspective compared to a typical veterinary visit. We begin by gathering a comprehensive history and performing a full physical exam, including assessment of your animal’s tongue and pulse. This allows us to determine a pattern diagnosis that guides a personalized treatment plan. In addition to addressing specific areas of concern, we incorporate acupuncture points that support overall, whole-body health
​
-
We treat all species and all issues. ​

**Please note: if your animal cannot be handled safely during examination and treatment, we may require additional medication and/or training, prior to the next appointment. Team and client safety is a top priority and we have the right to refuse service in any situation deemed unsafe.**​
