The Biggest Myth About Integrative Veterinary Medicine – American Veterinarian
Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS, FAAMA, president and CEO of CuraCore Integrative Medicine and Education Centers, says the biggest myth she sees about integrative medicine arises from Chinese medicine. There are entrepreneurial incentives to promote acceptance of an outdated ideology that was developed in a prescientific era, she explains. Dr. Robinson believes there is an appropriate compromise between Western medicine and a holistic approach.
Using Acupuncture in Veterinary Medicine – American Veterinarian
Acupuncture is one of the safest medical modalities, explains Narda G. Robinson, DO, DVM, MS, FAAMA, president and CEO of CuraCore Integrative Medicine and Education Centers. However, it is important to have a veterinary background when treating animals with acupuncture, because it is a medical approach, she adds. The most common uses for acupuncture are for musculoskeletal pain and neurologic conditions, Dr. Robinson says.
Acupuncture – Clinician’s Brief Integrative Medicine
What Is “Acupuncture”?
Most often, the term acupuncture refers to the insertion of thin metal acupuncture needles into specific sites on the body for treatment or prevention of diseases and pain.
One Medicine, One Acupuncture
“One Acupuncture”, modeled after “One Medicine”, embodies a system of translational acupuncture built upon science and hypothesis-driven research. Forging a synthesis between human and veterinary acupuncture requires consistency in point location across species so that meaningful comparisons can be made.

Photomedicine for Veterinarians
As a veterinary professional in either conventional or integrative medicine, photomedicine is an excellent complement to your medical practice because of its high level of safety and positive results. If you’re ready to provide healing options for your patients that don’t require injections or pharmaceuticals, it may be time to consider a CuraCore laser therapy course.

PHOTOMEDICINE for Veterinarians
The first section of PRIMA™ Photomedicine covers the physiologic basis of photobiomodulation, i.e., the manner in which the medical application of light, whether through laser or light emitting diodes (LEDs), influences living tissue. Topics include photobiomodulation for tissue repair, analgesia, circulatory restoration, neuroprotection and neural regeneration, reduction of inflammation, and immune modulation. Free of financial conflicts of interest, Dr. Robinson critically evaluates the pros and cons of various laser and LED units.
The second section of PRIMA™ Photomedicine calls upon learners to apply their knowledge from section I for the safe and effective treatment of pain, inflammation, nerve regeneration, and more. We set the stage by establishing the scientific framework for the PRIMA™ Photomedicine Method which integrates seamlessly with Dr. Robinson’s Medical Acupuncture and Integrative Neuromodulation® method. In so doing, graduates of this program and, ultimately, PRIMA™ certified practitioners, will enjoy the flexibility of utilizing a spectrum of integrative medicine methods to tackle challenging disorders such as brain and spinal cord disease or injury, peripheral and cranial nerve problems, musculoskeletal injury, pain (neuropathic, inflammatory, and visceral), internal medicine problems, and the adverse consequences of radiation therapy.

Cannabis for Veterinary Professionals
Veterinarians face many questions when it comes to cannabis. How does it work? Is it safe? What are the safeguards to regulate veterinary products? Which regulations impact veterinarians’ ability to prescribe cannabis? How does cannabidiol (CBD) differ from delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol in terms of clinical effects and toxicity? Where can I find reliable information online?
This course aims to educate veterinarians, veterinary nurses, and technicians about multiple aspects of cannabis treatment — recognizing its historical lineage, safety concerns, and proven ability to regulate endogenous analgesic and homeostatic processes.
The class is open to veterinary healthcare professionals as well as those from other professions that have a desire to learn more about the pharmacology and safety issues concerning cannabis. As such, prospective enrollees should read the following prerequisites carefully in order to ensure that they have a strong enough scientifically based education in order to grasp fundamental pharmacologic and clinical concepts.
Completion of this course does not grant the authority to prescribe any type of cannabis product, and participants should explore and understand local, regional, and national restrictions concerning cannabis that would apply to them and their practice, if applicable. Completion of this program does not grant any licensure or certification to practice medicine.
