Ideally, a new condition/problem would be scheduled separately from ongoing recheck treatment appointments.
3. Class IV Cold Laser Therapy Treatments and MyoFascial Release techniques is a common treatment appointment for painful and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, back and joint pain and inflammation, and injuries. All laser treatments are conducted by Dr. Decker personally and are tailored to the patient’s discomforts and needs at that particular visit. Myofascial release focuses on relaxing spasmed or tight muscles and other joint supporting tissues that may be affecting mobility and ROM (range of motion) of joints further reducing pain and inflammation as indicated.

Other available injectable treatments such as Heel – Traumeel, Zeel homotoxicology are available for an additional fees, as indicated. Chinese herbal formulas (Kan, Natural Path), Standard Process, and Western herbal and nutraceutical supplements are available as indicated and have additional fees. A ‘cryo-pen’ technique for the non-invasive ‘freezing removal’ of small skin tags and warts requiring no anesthesia or sedation is also available!
We also can submit blood work follow up testing for conditions that we are leading the treatment plan. Otherwise, it is recommended that your primary care veterinarian continue submitting those tests. We offer additional, less traditionally common blood testing for Vitamin D, Magnesium, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, CRP (C-reactive protein) and others.
We strongly believe that it is medically unnecessary to give booster vaccinations ever year or every three years which can add stress to the body’s immune system. If your pet’s immune system still “remembers” previous vaccinations to help protect the body from illness, which can be determined by a vaccine antibody blood titer test, then a booster vaccine is not needed. Unfortunately, we are not offering vaccine titer testing at this time. For existing patients, we are able to offer a written letter stating the need to waive vaccine boosters as medically recommended for that individual patient.
