We offer: **PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE** Although Animal Wellness Center of Oak Creek provides advanced diagnostic, treatment, and surgical services, our core mission revolves around wellness and preventative medicine. This includes not only the normal vaccination schedules, but also annual wellness blood screens and routine surgical services. The very same healthcare team that specializes in your pet’s routine veterinary care is also the same team that has been highly trained in the advanced tertiary medical services we provide. Some of the routine services we provide are: -Tailored vaccination schedules based upon a patient’s lifestyle (Titer testing is also now available!) -Routine anesthetic and surgical services such as spays, neuters and dental care -Veterinary spinal manipulation therapy **VETERINARY SPINAL MANIPULATION THERAPY** You may be asking: What is Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy? Well, Veterinary spinal manipulation therapy (VSMT) is not meant to replace traditional veterinary medicine. It is an alternative form of health care based on the same foundations of human chiropractic, where a healthy spinal column and its corresponding nerves are essential for optimal functions of our body. It can provide an additional method of diagnostic and treatment options for spinal problems, biomechanical related musculoskeletal disorders, and internal medicine disorders. So...how can VSMT help your pet? By examining each motion unit/joint (especially the spine), areas of decreased mobility are identified and a very specific, high velocity, low amplitude thrust is delivered to help that unit move normal. All animals can benefit from spinal manipulation. There are always joints in the body that for some reason are not moving to their full potential. Spinal manipulation helps to restore normal motion to these joints. This allows the body to have improved motion, strength and stability, reduced pain, and aid in the ability for the body to heal itself. **DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES** Modern medicine and equipment can only be taken advantage of by an experienced group of personnel. Without the proper training, such tools are just expensive paperweights. With a central digitized data system, we are able to integrate all of our diagnostic tools with our patients’ files within a single computer screen, better utilizing our team’s experience. This results in a more efficient, accurate, and timely processing of all information for each patient. Diagnostic tools at our disposal include: -In house laboratory -Digital radiography -Digital ultrasound -Reference laboratory -On-call Board Certified Internist and Surgeon -Telemedicine consults with Board Certified Ultrasonographers and Radiologists **SURGICAL SERVICES** Animal Wellness Center of Oak Creek collaborates with Belle City Veterinary Hospital and Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center to extend full surgical options for our clients.
