Five Elements Veterinary Alternatives

Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive approach to improve the comfort and performance of your animal companion in a friendly, professional atmosphere. Using both modern technology and ancient healing arts, we aim to integrate alternative treatment plans with conventional veterinary medicine to achieve the most effective results. Our treatment strategies are based on the philosophy that the body contains the innate ability to heal itself. We simply help remove barriers to natural healing and help restore balance. Mainstream (Western) veterinary medicine is often focussed on treating a specific problem in one part of the body or a specific set of symptoms, which is sometimes at odds with the wellness of the whole animal. The goal of integrative medicine is to treat both the symptoms and the deeper underlying imbalance in the body with therapies that complement Western medicine, but are safe, have minimal to no side effects, and are often, seemingly miraculously effective. In Western medicine, we often wait until the animal is showing significant signs of disease before being able to diagnose or treat. Alternative medical exams and therapies can also be used to identify and treat imbalances in the body to prevent the disease process from progressing further and restore wellness.
