As alternative therapies become increasingly popular with pet owners, The Ark Animal Clinic is pleased to offer these modalities as part of our comprehensive care. Alternative therapies, also known as “integrative” or “complementary” therapies, work in conjunction with traditional medicine and surgery to enhance outcomes and provide additional treatment options for our patients. We believe in a holistic approach to pet care, and these therapies offer a valuable complement to conventional veterinary medicine. Contact us today to learn more about how these therapies could benefit your pet.
Chiropractic Services
Is your pet experiencing discomfort from arthritis, hip dysplasia, lameness, gastrointestinal issues, chronic health problems, or back pain? Chiropractic care may offer a solution. Professional chiropractic manipulation can help alleviate pain, improve flexibility and mobility, and even enhance organ function. It can also promote healing and improve the range of motion in animals injured during sporting events or other activities.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a safe, effective way to reduce pain and promote healing, and The Ark Animal Clinc is proud to have an Erchonia® Class 3b/3c laser. Laser therapy is not only extremely safe but also virtually painless, in fact, many pets find the process to be very relaxing.
The laser works by stimulating cellular activity, reducing swelling, and accelerating healing. The body absorbs non-thermal photons of light to boost metabolism in injured cells, leading to faster repair, improved circulation, and relief from conditions such as arthritis, post-surgical pain, and chronic wounds.
Key benefits to laser therapy
- Drug-free and surgery-free: It's a non-invasive treatment that complements other therapies.
- Painless and safe: Pets often relax during the treatment, feeling only a comforting warmth.
- Fast treatment times: Treatments typically last only a few minutes.
- Versatile: Effective for a wide range of conditions, including acute pain, chronic illnesses, and post-operative recovery.
Laser therapy can be used for a wide variety of applications, including:
- Infections & inflammation
- Sprains & strains
- Post-surgical healing
- Osteoarthritis & degenerative joint disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Lick granulomas
- Wounds
- Fractures
