Integrative medicine is a style of medicine that incorporates high standards of conventional western medicine practices with evidence-based natural, complementary or eastern-based medicine methods.
A thorough workup is key, and this doesn’t mean a quick 15 mins examination and out the door with a bag of medications. Our approach will address the symptoms as they are presented, however, they will also look at lifestyle, previous medical history, diet, behaviour, energy, stress factors and environment. We often encourage bloodwork and a thorough examination along with a detailed history in order to gather a baseline and then we formulate a custom plan that allows caregivers to have a choice on which direction may align with you and your pet’s needs.
One of the goals with the whole-istic approach treatment is to dig deeper and resolve or ease those primary ailments or diseases.
