General Info

We are creating awareness and understanding of balance as the key factor in improving quality of life — and in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of health problems of animals and people. This practice is a prototype for a permanent paradigm change in medical thought and application throughout the world. We accomplish this mission through personal and professional practice, education, and research. Judith M. Shoemaker, DVM, is an internationally known practitioner and educator in complementary veterinary medicine and therapy. Dr. Shoemaker is a 1980 graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. She is licensed to practice in most of the states on the East Coast and in Colorado, Kentucky, Indiana, and Alabama. Dr. Shoemaker's equine and companion animal veterinary practice focuses on complementary medicine and holistic therapy — integrating chiropractic, acupuncture, and other alternative modalities. The practice's equine patients include Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses, pleasure horses, draft and gaited horses, top-level competition horses in dressage, open jumping, endurance, western sports, and combined training. Over the last ten years, Dr. Shoemaker has been affiliated with premiere equine sports therapy centers, providing comprehensive maintenance, therapeutic management, and consultation to equine competitors in the US and internationally. Many of Dr. Shoemaker's canine patients are competitors in performance events such as obedience, agility, lure-coursing, and tracking. She provides therapy and maintenance support to service dogs and to search and rescue dogs as well as many wonderful family companions. Dr. Shoemaker has taught anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. She has advanced training in both small and large animal orthopedic internal fixation surgical techniques from the Ohio.

Services/Products

The term Integrative Medicine is used to indicate that these complementary modalities are an adjunct to allopathic care, not only an alternative. They may provide alternative outcomes, including the avoidance of surgery, reduction in medications needed, and the avoidance of complications in treatment or recovery. It is important to have an understanding of these modalities because of their widespread use, and potential misuse. They can enhance the quality of care that we can provide and more important, they can enhance the quality of life for the animals. Integrative Medicine may include but is not limited to: • Chiropractic • Applied Kinesiology • Acupuncture • Electro Acupuncture • Prolo Therapy • Moxabustion • Pain Management • Gaiting & Biomechanical Analysis • Postural Rehabilitation • Farriery & Dentistry • Saddle & Bit fitting • Physical Therapy • Laser Therapy • Pulsed Magnetic Therapy • Massage Therapy • Behavior Management • Ozone Therapy • Cancer Therapy • Nutrition • Western Herbs • Chinese Herbs • Homeopathy • Homotoxicology • Bach Flower Remedies • Glandular Therapy • Immuno-Augmentive Therapy • Reiki • Short term rehabilitation • Laminitis rehabilitation
