Gentle, non-invasive therapies like Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT) and cold laser therapy help keep your pet comfortable and moving well. VSMT uses careful, hands-on adjustments to improve joint motion, ease stiffness, and support the nervous system, while cold laser therapy uses light energy to reduce pain and inflammation, boost circulation, and promote faster healing after injuries or surgery. Together, these therapies can complement your pet’s regular medical care and support long-term mobility and quality of life.

Why Alternative Therapies Make a Difference
Pain Relief & Comfort
Help ease discomfort from stiffness, injuries, and age-related changes so your pet can rest and relax more comfortably.
Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT)
VSMT is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on joints with a limited range of motion along the spine or limbs. Restoring more normal movement can help relieve pain and stiffness, improve flexibility and range of motion, and support healthy nervous system function.
Better Everyday Mobility
Support easier walking, jumping, and play by improving joint mobility and reducing muscle and joint soreness.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cell repair and improve circulation. This safe, non-invasive treatment helps reduce pain and inflammation, speeds healing after surgery, wounds, or injuries, and supports pets with arthritis and other chronic conditions.
Supportive, Integrative Care
Work alongside your pet’s regular medical treatment to promote whole-body wellness and a better quality of life.

Every pet is different. Our team will assess your pet’s condition, lifestyle, and response to therapy to create a tailored plan that may include VSMT, cold laser, or both, and adjust it over time to keep your pet as comfortable and active as possible.
