Animal chiropractic is the science, art, and philosophy concerned with good health through restoration and maintenance of properly functioning neuromusculoskeletal systems without use of surgery or drugs. It is an alternative therapy using manual therapy to relieve vertebral subluxations. Animal chiropractic is not meant to replace traditional veterinary medicine, but to complement it. Animal chiropractic focuses on the biomechanical dysfunction of the spine and the subsequent effect on the entire nervous system.
Dr. Dunn has completed a course at Options for Animals in animal chiropractic and is now certified in the essentials of animal chiropractic.
Shockwave therapy – high-energy sound wave technology – generates sound waves outside the body, offering a noninvasive treatment option for dogs experiencing lameness and pain. The high-energy sound waves – also called pulses or shockwaves – travel through soft tissue at customized depths, reaching a specific treatment area and triggering the body’s own repair system. In comparison to ultrasound or lasers, shockwaves result in a higher energy output and deeper penetration and have been proven to reduce healing time, improve mobility, and relieve pain with one - three treatments.
Is your pet suffering from acute or chronic pain due to surgery, arthritis or skin irritations? They could benefit from laser therapy. Traditional pain medication can alleviate discomfort, but it doesn't help tissues heal. Additionally, it can be difficult to administer to cats and dogs. To solve these problems, we now have pet laser therapy, the latest in noninvasive, drug-free pain management.
Pet laser therapy is an effective way to treat arthritis and surgical incisions.
Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy can help skin lesions heal up to twice as fast. This therapy uses the Phovia LED Lamp and Phovia Gel. The proprietary gel converts the lamp’s blue light into fluorescence, which skin cells use to fuel the natural healing process. This light therapy reduces inflammation, speeds up cell replacement, boosts local immunity, increases energy production and improves blood flow. We use this therapy for both small animals and horses.
