Sometimes conventional veterinary medicine alone could use a little support. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or slowing down with age, integrative medicine offers additional tools to support their comfort, healing, and quality of life.
At Vetama, we offer a range of integrative therapies designed to work alongside traditional veterinary care, which gives pets more options, more relief, and more pathways toward feeling their best.
Integrative veterinary medicine combines evidence-informed therapies with conventional treatment to address the whole patient, body, comfort, and function. Rather than replacing your pet's primary care, these services layer in additional support to help manage pain, reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.
Vetama's integrative services are available to pets throughout San Luis Obispo County, both as standalone appointments and as part of a broader care or recovery plan.
Laser therapy uses targeted light to promote cellular healing, reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and relieve pain, without needles, drugs, or downtime. Many animals visibly relax during sessions, responding to the gentle warmth of the treatment.
Laser therapy may benefit pets experiencing any of these conditions:
Sessions are non-invasive and typically brief, making laser therapy an easy addition to your pet's ongoing care routine. Our experienced veterinarians can provide laser therapy through both mobile visits and at our San Luis Obispo clinic.
Rooted in thousands of years of practice and modern research, acupuncture stimulates specific points to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore balance. In veterinary care, it can effectively treat nerve pain, musculoskeletal, digestive issues, and aids post-operative recovery. Most pets tolerate sessions well, often relaxing or falling asleep, as treatments are gentle, precise, and personalized.
Veterinary acupuncture is often recommended for pets experiencing a variety of symptoms, including:
Acupuncture is available through mobile visits and at our San Luis Obispo clinic.
Veterinary chiropractic care aims to align the spine and musculoskeletal system to alleviate movement restrictions, pain, and stiffness. When the body moves the way it's designed to, everything works better, from nerve signaling to joint mobility to overall comfort.
Chiropractic adjustments are gentle, targeted, and performed by trained professionals who understand animal anatomy and movement.
Chiropractic care may be a good fit for pets dealing with these symptoms:
Please note, our experienced veterinary team provides chiropractic care only at our in-clinic location.
You don't have to be facing a serious diagnosis to benefit from integrative care. Many pet owners incorporate these therapies into routine wellness simply because they work, and because they provide options beyond medication alone.
Our compassionate veterinary team can help you understand which therapies may be most beneficial for your pet's specific situation, whether recovering from a procedure, managing chronic pain, or slowing down with age.
