Balance- just like their humans, animals need to live a balanced life.
Acupuncture & herbs & proper foods, along with spinal manipulation and exercise, help keep our pets' bodies in balance for optimal health & longevity & disease prevention.
An Integrative Vet is a Holistic Vet that combines Eastern Medicine with Conventional Western Medicine.
Conventional Western Medicine is great and very necessary for broken bones and emergency trauma, but isn't very good for allergies and skin infections and auto-immune diseases and other chronic illnesses that keep coming back- Eastern Medicine and Chiropractic can do what Western medicine can not.

There's a saying, "We are afraid of that which we don't understand, " and some veterinarians simply do not understand the concept of spinal & neurologic function & manipulation, and Holistic whole body health as it relates to our dogs, cats and pets.
Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine recognizes the many patterns of disease and imbalances that weaken the immune system and affect the body.
These can be very different among individuals.
Not only do Acupuncture and massage & rehab help restore balance to treat disease, they also help to relieve the stress that impedes the body's ability to heal.

Dr. Matt Parker grew up in Roanoke, Virginia.
He practiced veterinary medicine away from Roanoke for the first several years of his career, but his family and the beautiful mountains around Roanoke called him back home in 2016.
He practiced Conventional (what many think of as Western or 'regular') veterinary medicine in northern Virginia and Austin, Texas for several years before he started seeking out non-conventional (alternative) medicine.
Like so many veterinarians and pet-owners, Dr. Parker was becoming more and more frustrated by ongoing allergy cases, skin problems, pet obesity and many other ailments that couldn't be resolved or explained by the Conventional Western medicine that we are taught in vet school.
