Pets in Balance strives to provide compassionate veterinary care to improve patient comfort, mobility, overall health and well-being. We know that your pet is an important part of your family and we are dedicated to strengthening that bond. Pets in Balance integrates traditional veterinary medicine with complementary treatments including acupuncture, chiropractic (veterinary spinal manipulative therapy), and physical rehabilitation to treat dogs and cats with a variety of medical and mobility issues.
Whether your pet prefers the comforts of home, is recovering from surgery, stays active by going to the dog park, chasing balls, or as your running buddy, is a therapy dog, competes in conformation, scentwork, or obedience; or is active in canine sports such as agility, dock diving, or tracking, Pets in Balance strives to improve their function and performance.
Pets in Balance offers house calls in addition to in-office veterinary services out of a veterinary clinic in the northwest Chicago area. The initial evaluation helps us to determine what is making your pet painful or limiting their mobility. Treatments include acupuncture, chiropractic care, and physical rehabilitation treatments such as therapeutic laser, shockwave therapy, therapeutic exercises to improve strength and function, massage, passive range of motion, electrical stimulation, and pulsed electromagnetic therapy. We also offer supplements, herbals, and homeopathics in addition to assistive devices to help improve patient mobility and comfort. Dr. Starr has specialized training in providing orthotics and prosthetics for pets. Providing in-home services improves convenience for you while allowing us to address unique challenges of patient mobility when your pet is ailing, injured, anxious, or geriatric.
