| Over the last year we have
started to offer complementary medicine consults at the clinic
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat painful
conditions such as osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, and spinal
pain. Needles are inserted in specific points and interfere
with the way pain is transmitted to the central nervous system.
Surprisingly the animals tolerate this treatment very well.
It is common that during the treatment the patient gets very
sleepy and relaxed.
It is a great addition to conventional medical treatment and
has no negative side effects. 
Herbal medicine is the treatment and prevention of disease
using preparation of plant parts and extracts. Veerle usually
formulates bespoke preparations that take into account the
specific needs of each individual patient. Herbal treatments
may be particularly beneficial for conditions where the normal
processes of the body are malfunctioning such as inflammatory,
degenerative and chronic conditions. They can also help ameliorate
the side effects of some conventional treatments, e.g. ongoing
anti-inflammatory use.
If you are unsure if your pet would benefit from a consult
you could always email us and Veerle can have a look at your
pet’s history and email you back.
