Glen Oak Dog & Cat Hospital, in Glenview, boasts of being:
...one of the Northshore’s premiere veterinary clinics. We practice Holistic Veterinary Care, which incorporates a program designed to not only treat animal health issues, but to try and prevent them ... Techniques such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling can be used to achieve this goal.
In addition, Glen Oak offers not one, but:
...two waiting rooms; one for felines and one for canines. We have two surgical suites and can perform multiple operations simultaneously. We also have an isolation kennel for patients with infectious or potentially infectious diseases.
That's all well and good, but what kind of veterinary medicine do they practice at Glen Oak?
We offer both Eastern and Western veterinary medicine as a part of our health care treatments for cats and dogs. Modern research has shown that combining Western and Eastern medical approaches to the treatment of animals results in more favorable medical outcomes.
Zooka, of course, will begin his acupuncture treatments next week:
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body. The points are near nerve endings, vessels, and other important body architecture. The specific point on the body is called the “Shu-xu” or acupoint. The ancient Chinese people found 361 acupoints on human beings and 173 acupoints on animals. Research has shown that the stimulation of acupoints induces a release of serotonin, beta-endorphin, and other neurotransmitters.
Acupuncture has been shown to be extremely effective for the treatment of:
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
Pain management
Arthritis
Renal (kidney) disease
Skin disease (dermatitis)
Epilepsy
Cancer
Acupuncture sessions often last between forty and sixty minutes, and a variety of different techniques are used including dry needling, aqua-acupuncture, and electro-stimulation.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the staff is bilingual in English and Polish.
