Complementary Medicine for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses, 2nd Edition provides a broad overview of complementary veterinary medicine modalities and their practical applications in clinical settings. Functioning as a detailed reference for veterinary technicians, veterinary nurses, veterinarians, and pet owners, the text establishes a foundational framework for understanding non-traditional approaches to animal health.
The core coverage synthesizes physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and touch therapies alongside cold laser therapy and magnetic therapy. The text also covers homeopathy, organizing individual modalities into structured thematic arcs that enable clinical staff to review diverse non-standard options alongside traditional veterinary treatments.
This second edition includes expanded bibliographies alongside updated content on holistic nutrition, diet, and specialized therapies. By providing clear guidance across non-traditional disciplines, the volume offers a practical reference for animal care teams expanding their scope of integrative practice.
