At Delray Beach Animal Hospital, we believe in providing a complete range of services to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient. No two cases are exactly alike, and the treatment that works flawlessly for one pet may not be right for another. That’s why we avoid taking a “one-size-fits-all” approach and instead offer a wide range of innovative and effective services. In addition to the latest treatments in technology, we also provide eastern-style therapies, including acupuncture and holistic veterinary care. If you are interested in eastern-style veterinary care in Delray Beach or the surrounding areas, we would love to have your pet as a patient.

EASTERN-STYLE VETERINARY CARE

Eastern-style veterinary care is largely based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCM) and includes therapies, such as acupuncture, that have been used to treat humans and other living creatures for thousands of years. At Delray Beach Animal Hospital we combine both Western approach with Eastern and non traditional treatment options. Rather than treating problems using only modern medicine and technology, eastern-style care focuses on restoring health and balance to the body through traditional practices.

Acupuncture

In veterinary medicine, acupuncture is used to treat an array of conditions, including arthritis, metabolic problems, neurological disorders, and more. During treatment, thin needles are applied to specific points on the patient’s body to trigger a therapeutic response. This response aids the body’s natural healing processes while easing pain and inflammation. Some of the conditions most commonly treated using acupuncture include:

Arthritis

Constipation and Diarrhea

Spinal Cord Disorders

Liver Disease

Bronchitis

Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD)

Neurological Conditions

Sprains and Strains

Asthma

Hip Dysplasia

Lick Granulomas

Nausea and Pain Associated with Cancer

Immune System Disorders

Dry Eye

Seizure Disorders

Holistic Veterinary Care and Herbology

The treatments and therapies used in holistic veterinary care are gentle and minimally invasive. In holistic approaches, veterinarians often combine convention and alternative therapies to achieve the best results for the patient.

In conventional veterinary medicine, much of the focus remains on treating the issue at hand with modern medicine. With our holistic approach options, our vets focus on your pet’s natural abilities to conquer sickness or diseases. With either Western or Eastern medicine, the goal always remains to treat the underlying problem to provide effective and long-lasting relief for the patient.
