Can ultrasound therapy be combined with other types of veterinary medicine?
Ultrasound integrates well into a treatment plan that utilizes either traditional or alternative forms of veterinary medicine. If a non-veterinary therapist is used for ultrasound, the veterinarian and therapist must communicate to combine their knowledge and skill to develop an appropriate treatment plan. If your companion animal is receiving ultrasound from a practitioner other than your regular veterinarian, it is imperative that both individuals are kept updated about the ongoing treatment in order to provide coordinated care of your pet, to allow proper evaluation of treatment and to minimize any avoidable interactions or interferences. At Integrative Pet Care our veterinarians, who are well-trained and versed in a variety of rehab modalities including ultrasound, collaborate with the pets primary care veterinarian to appropriately coordinate care.
