UC Davis Veterinary Hospital Expands Integrative Medicine Service

The UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital recently expanded its services to offer more options in the Integrative Medicine Service. Integrative medicine includes a comprehensive approach to veterinary medicine that complements conventional diagnostic and treatment modalities to optimize clinical outcome. Treatments the Service has previously offered include acupuncture and physical rehabilitation (which can include rehabilitation following surgery, paralysis rehabilitation, weight loss, and canine athlete injury rehabilitation). With the recent addition of new Service Chief Dr. Jamie Peyton, to a stellar team that already includes Drs. Lauren Frank and Marilyn Koski and technician Ann Kitchen, the VMTH looks to expand integrative medicine activities, as well as include additional service offerings in pain management and palliative/hospice care. With many hospital clients requesting the additional offerings, VMTH leadership recognized the need to increase the size of the Integrative Medicine Service with another clinician, more appointment opportunities and additional treatment options.
