At Animal Health Options

we specialize in providing holistic diagnostic and therapeutic choices to equine and companion animal caretakers. We are different from most "holistic" veterinary practices in that we use an overall holistic philosophy and provide conventional medical advice within the holistic context.

We have more than two decades of experience integrating holistic therapies in the treatment and care of performance horses of all disciplines, geriatric animals, animals with reproductive problems, performance and working dogs including patrol and drug/explosives detection, wildland/urban SAR, avalanche, agility, flyball, obedience, service and sled/skijorring dogs.

• Chiropractic: the use of short lever, high force manipulation to restore motion to fixated joints.
• Tui Na: a Chinese soft tissue technique which is a combination of manipulation, massage and acupressure.
