Integrative treatment of IVDD
Intervertebral Disc Disease ( IVDD) is a common problem seen in small animal practice and one that is best treated with an integrated approach using TCVM herbals and acupuncture along with other therapies. Integrative treatment of IVDD has the same goals as conventional treatment—relieve pain, improve paresis, ataxia, muscle atrophy, weakness and perhaps incontinence and return the patient to full function. Pain relief can be accomplished by acupuncture and herbals, and therapeutic modalities such as laser, PEMF therapy, exercise therapy, manual therapy and hydrotherapy. Rehabilitation therapies return the patient to normal function. This seminar with present treatments for IVDD using TCVM principles for the root pattern and principles of rehabilitation medicine to heal the patient.
