A Higher Standard of Pain Management

Because that's what they deserve.

Modern Medicine. Because their life is precious. Our pets are unable to verbally communicate with us when they are in pain. However, there are signs to look for such as certain movements, body changes and specific behaviors that can be telltale signs that our pets are in pain. Dr. Hilden can discuss what signs to lookout for as well as treat acute and chronic pain with medication, acupuncture and lifestyle changes.

Supplements The market is flooded with hundreds of nutraceutical supplements offering promises to be the next best thing for your pet’s pain management. Our team will help you navigate the different formulations and options and find the best choice for your pet. We will also help you find the products that are proven safe and effective for your pet and sourced from a reliable company. Acupuncture Acupuncture is a procedure involving inserting slim, sterile needles into specific points of the body that may be experiencing pain. This process helps to release hormones and neurotransmitters to a specific area, which can remove toxins and bring oxygen to the area via increased blood flow, helping to reduce pain and discomfort. Dr. Hilden is credentialed in veterinary acupuncture.

Laser Therapy

Your Caring Ways Team offers therapeutic laser therapy. Photobiomodulation or laser therapy targets your pet’s damaged cells and helps them heal more efficiently. It uses specific light wavelengths to target damaged tissues and cells. This leads to an increase in cellular metabolism that results in reduced pain and inflammation. Dr. Hilden will often prescribe this modality as part of your pet’s total pain control protocol. Your Caring Ways Team offers onsite or home visits for laser therapy appointments, depending on the prescribed treatment. Laser therapy treats hundreds of conditions. We use it most commonly for arthritis, ear infections, post-surgery incisions, and wound treatments.
