What is Holistic Veterinary Medicine?

Holistic (or Wholistic) Medicine, sometimes referred to as 'alternative medicine', takes on the whole picture of the patient - mind, body & spirit - to identify underlying imbalances that cause disease.  Holistic practitioners believe in the body's own vital energy and its natural restorative powers; most alternative therapies are meant to be preventative.
 

What is Integrative Veterinary Medicine?

Integrative medicine combines traditional medicine with alternative therapies.  Traditional and non-traditional practices have health benefits as well as limitations, but together, they provide a synergy that can transform a patient's health.  Dr. Codington treats a majority of his cases with great results utilizing the methodology of integrative medicine.
