Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM)

"Treat the imbalance before it becomes dis-ease"

Acupuncture is one of the four pillars of TCVM along side Chinese Herbal Medicine, Food Therapy and Tui Na.  Acupuncture has been performed on people and animals for thousands of years.  

 BENEFICIAL EFFECTS 

Confirmed by modern research

 Pain Relief 

Tissue Healing 

Immunoregulation 

Anti-Inflammatory Effects 

GI motility...and more   

TREATMENT FREQUENCY 

The number & frequency of treatments varies with each individual patient. 

Three to Six treatments 1 to 2 weeks apart then monthly or as needed on a case by case basis is most common

Many patients benefit from tune up treatments every 1 to 3 months as maintenance of chronic conditions and general wellness and prevention 

The sooner treatments are started the better the response 

Treatment packages or individual treatments available after initial TCVM exam/consult 

 More than one treatment is needed to gauge a response

 TCVM is a slow process compared to Western Medicine requiring commitment to healing and well being 

 Dr. Brown recommends a combination of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine & Food Therapy integrated alongside Western Medicine for optimal results 

 TCVM can be integrated into every medical condition & tailored to each individual patient
