Getting Started with Comfort Care

 

An initial Comfort Care exam includes a review of past medical records, a thorough history, a routine physical exam with an extensive musculoskeletal and neurologic exam. It also includes a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine exam and a joint motion palpation with adjustment. In-home exercises may be shared as appropriate. An initial exam and treatment takes about one to one and a half hours to perform.

​

Before the exam, and depending on your pet’s presenting problem, a digital thermal image capture may be helpful in guiding care.

 

After an exam, additional treatment modalities may be recommended depending on the extent of your pet’s condition. Most conditions will need additional care to help expedite and guide recovery. 

​

Follow-up Comfort Care

 

As with any injury or chronic degenerative condition, healing happens in stages. With careful care, treatment, and guidance the goal is for your pet to regain normal function in a timely and safe manner. Most conditions will benefit from follow-up care. Many conditions will require several treatments before seeing the best response. Discounted care packages are offered upon request to help support care.  A follow-up exam and treatment can take about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the care.
