The goal of holistic medicine is to improve the overall health of the animal so they are more energetic, happier and healthier once their current problem resolves. The best way to use holistic approaches is before your animal is ill, to prevent many organ and tissue problems from ever happening. Or conventional knowledge and skills can blend with holistic approaches. Conventional medicine approaches illness primarily by controlling symptoms or by physiologically correcting organs that are not functioning properly. Methods used include surgery, giving drugs to stop the reaction of the body or replace missing hormones or hyposensitization injections.
Specialists focus on the eyes, skin, surgery, internal organs, leg problems and more.
If a dog has torn her knee ligament, the conventional approach is to do an examination, maybe under anesthesia, take an X-ray and usually recommend rest or surgery. If an examination indicated a possible torn knee ligament, the first step would be to give specific joint supplements and chiropractic, swimming, or Reiki. If the knee does not recover, surgery may be needed. If you have questions we are only a phone call away. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
