Therapies

Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre
Chinham House, Stanford in the Vale, Oxfordshire SN7 8NQ

At the Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC), we use many types of alternative medicine, holistic medicine and natural medicine treatments, in all species. For the most part, these are holistic therapies, applied according to holistic principles.

Veterinary Acupuncture, Veterinary Homeopathy (Veterinary Homoeopathy), Veterinary Herbal Medicine (Herbs), Chiropractic Manipulation and Natural Feeding are the main planks of the service. We support patients with nutritional therapy, in each case. Each patient also receives a check for back problems or spinal problems and manipulation is offered, if indicated.

Since each therapeutic system has its own merits, characteristics and methodology, they can appear somewhat esoteric and remote. These pages are designed to help you to understand them and how any of them may be appropriate for your animal. You may find that one or more have something positive to offer, depending upon the illness or condition your animal is suffering.

Christopher Day is a holistic vet, herbal vet, acupuncture vet, chiropractic vet and qualified specialist homeopathic vet (homoeopathic vet, homeopathic veterinarian or homeopathic veterinary surgeon) and believes that mind, body and spirit should be considered as an integrated whole and treated in the context of environment, diet and lifestyle. All the therapies and treatments practised at AVMC sit well with this holistic approach and may be offered singly or combined in an integrated programme, depending upon the case.

When embarking on treatments, we do not recommend cessation of current conventional therapy. However it may be, with time, that conventional drugs can be withdrawn under veterinary guidance.

We offer alternative treatments, holistic treatments, complementary treatments, natural treatments (a.k.a. alternative therapy, holistic therapy, complementary therapy, natural therapy). Mr Day is among the UK's well-known and long-established homeopathic vets, acupuncture vets, herbal vets and holistic vets. The practice is run on homely lines, with traditional values of patient care and client care. Our duty is to assist clients in their duty of care to their animals and to enable informed choice.

These approaches represent a philosophy that is alternative to the current conventional norm but the use of alternative therapies does not do away with the need for a thorough examination and assessment. Nor does it preclude the use of modern diagnostic techniques where necessary. A holistic vet will take into account all these things, in addition to closely scrutinising lifestyle, diet, environment, riding, tack, shoeing, grazing, stabling, management etc., depending upon the species.

Christopher Day was one of the first holistic vets in the UK. He has been instrumental in setting up training and qualification for homeopathic vets in the UK and internationally. He has been involved in the academic side of training acupuncture vets and of training and examining animal chiropractors.
