Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine in Northern Virginia
Chinese medical theory is based on the underlying idea of Qi (pronounced “chee”) flow. Qi is often translated as energy, but it can also be understood as function.
whole-pet care, thoughtfully coordinated
How it fits
An individualized part of integrative care
The functions of the body can be described in terms of Qi. When the flow or amount is out of balance, symptoms may be observed as the body attempts to re-establish a normal flow.
Chinese medical therapy may include diet, exercise, acupuncture, and herbs. At VHC, these options are considered within the whole patient and alongside the care provided by your pet’s regular veterinarian.
Coordinated with your regular veterinarian
VHC’s holistic and integrative therapies are designed to complement your pet’s conventional veterinary care. Your primary veterinarian remains important for routine, acute, preventive, and emergency needs.
