Indirect Manipulative Techniques (IMT)
This amazing variation on canine osteopathic techniques is fast becoming one of Dr. Mitchell's preferred therapeutic modalities. Unlike chiropractic care, which focuses primarily on joints and restrictions in joint motion, IMT focuses on the animal in motion. IMT offers the advantages of restoring the best possible mobility to every patient, by restoring health to the body's joints, blood vessels, nerves, connective tissues, lymphatic system, and craniosacral rhythym. Our practice has made the investment in time, training, and equipment to bring you the best of IMT techniques, using a specially designed, padded lift table to keep your pet comfortable while Dr. Mitchell performs IMT therapy. Dr. Mitchell has received extensive, advanced training in IMT through the nationally known and highly respected Kortekaas program.
Veterinary QGM (infrasonic) Therapy
QGM therapy is an essential tool we utilize at our hospital to speed healing of injuries in many of our canine athletes involved in agility, tracking, and hunting, as well as in our senior patients who need relief of the pain and inflammation of arthritis and related geriatric joint changes. It utilizes infrasound to speed recovery of damaged skin, muscles, and tendons. It also reduces localized trauma, normalizes cell function, and accelerates healing of damaged tissue. QGM therapy promotes circulation and flexibility of healthy tissues, improves agility and endurance in animal athletes, and speeds post-event recovery in competitive events. Whether your pet has a sprained joint, a bad skin injury, is recovering from surgery, or has a bruising or crushing type injury, QGM therapy can tremendously improve healing and reduce scarring. Using QGM therapy, we have saved the legs of dogs whose owners were told that their pet needed an amputation; avoided the need for extensive skin grafting; and resolved injuries that were thought to be chronic. We also commonly utilize QGM therapy to make chiropractic adjustments more comfortable for our patients. Therapy is painless, takes only 10-20 minutes, does not involve shaving or otherwise affecting the hair coat of your pet, and most pets LOVE the treatment. We sometimes have to wake our patients up to send them home after therapy!
Veterinary Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is another noninvasive treatment we utilize at our hospital to reduce pain and speed healing after injury. We use small, hand-held units to deliver a safe but effective beam of laser light to the injured area. Laser therapy is used to speed healing of everything from skin wounds to tendon injuries, to eye injuries. In some cases, we can even send a unit home with you for continual treatment outside of the office. We have seen wonderful results with the use of this therapy in treating chronic non-healing wounds.
Veterinary Homotoxicology
Many of see the benefit of using homeopathic medicines to treat our pets, but we ALL hate the extended wait for results that often accompanies their use! Homotoxicology offers the known benefits of homeopathy with much faster response time. At our hospital, we utilize oral tablet, oral liquid, and autosanguis homotoxicology therapeutics. Dr. Mitchell has had personal success with the use of homotoxicology in treating her own chronic back pain and spasms, and highly recommends this approach for patients who are not good candidates for acupuncture or chiropractic treatment. Homotoxicology therapy has also been useful for some patients with chronic allergies who have not responded well to traditional therapy.
Veterinary Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy, the injection of homoxicology medicines into specific points on a pet's body, can be used alone or in conjunction with an acupuncture treatment. It is a safe and effective way to treat pain, muscle spasms, allergies, and other hard-to-manage health challenges.
