At Rooted Integrative Veterinary Medicine, we focus on whole-animal care by combining conventional veterinary medicine with thoughtfully selected integrative therapies tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Our goal is to support resilience, reduce chronic symptom burden, and improve quality of life across all stages of health and disease.
Collaborative Care
We work closely with your pet’s primary care veterinarian and any specialists to provide complementary support that enhances standard medical care. This collaborative model ensures that all aspects of your pet’s health — conventional and integrative — are aligned and informed.
Comprehensive Integrative Evaluation
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough, individualized evaluation that considers:
- Current medical history and clinical findings
- Lifestyle and environmental factors
- Functional health markers (nutrition, microbiome, detox burdens)
- Owner goals and quality-of-life priorities
This foundation allows us to build care plans that are practical, sustainable, and responsive as your pet evolves.
Therapeutic Modalities
Acupuncture
Support for pain modulation, neurologic balance, immune regulation, and stress reduction.
Targeted Botanical Medicine
Targeted botanical medicine is used to support specific physiologic patterns, organ systems, and disease processes. Rather than relying on generalized supplements, botanicals are selected thoughtfully based on each patient’s clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and overall treatment goals.
Formulations may include Western herbal extracts, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) formulas, or blended approaches. These are chosen to support areas such as immune regulation, hepatic and detoxification pathways, inflammatory balance, neurologic health, and stress resilience. Dosing and combinations are individualized and adjusted over time based on response and tolerance.
Botanical therapy is often integrated alongside acupuncture, nutrition, and conventional treatments to provide layered, gentle, and effective support—particularly in cases involving chronic disease, immune dysregulation, or cancer.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal formulations selected based on functional patterns and clinical needs to support organ health, physiologic regulation, and long-term balance.
Medical & Spinal Manipulation (Chiropractic)
Hands-on therapies to improve mobility, neuromuscular function, alignment, and overall comfort.
Physical Rehabilitation
Targeted exercises and therapeutic movement to enhance strength, symmetry, coordination, and recovery.
Food Therapy & Nutritional Counseling
Individualized, whole-food nutrition guidance designed to support digestion, immune health, neurologic balance, and chronic condition management.
Functional & Integrative Diagnostics
To guide precise care, we can incorporate advanced testing, including:
- GI microbiome analysis: assesses community balance and barrier function
- Mineral & nutrient panels: identifies trace nutrient needs or imbalances
- Toxin/heavy metal exposure testing: evaluates detox burdens impacting systemic health
These tools help uncover underlying contributors to chronic disease patterns beyond standard exams.
Advanced Supportive Therapies
When appropriate and indicated, we incorporate evidence-inspired integrative therapies tailored to the individual patient:
- Ozone Therapy (O₃) – enhances cellular oxygenation, immune regulation, and detox pathways
- Microbiome Restoration (MBRT / FMT) – supports gut ecosystem recovery and immune signaling
- Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) – systemic immune-modulating support
- Mistletoe Therapy (Viscum album) – targeted supportive care for oncology and immune regulation
Each therapy is considered based on clinical context, owner goals, and overall plan harmony.
Special Focus Areas
Our services are often applied in cases such as:
- Chronic pain and mobility limitations
- Immune dysregulation or inflammatory conditions
- GI imbalances and digestive support
- Oncology support (chronic disease, quality-of-life focus)
- Neurologic dysfunction
- Behavioral stress and autonomic imbalance
