CE DAYTIME SESSIONS
INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY: TREATING THE WHOLE PATIENT Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 204 A Integrative oncology, an emerging field in human medicine, has recently been recognized by veterinarians to play an important role in supporting cancer patients using patient- centered integrative and complementary therapies alongside conventional cancer treatment. This presentation will provide an overview of all additional tools to consider in an integrative approach to treat veterinary cancer patients as a whole rather just the cancer itself. We will be discussing the most commonly used therapies, herbs, and dietary supplements in treatment and support of cancer patients. We will also discuss available research and evidence for safe and appropriate use alongside conventional treatment plans. HOW CAN INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE TREAT COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME? Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 10:30 AM - 11:20 AM | Room 204 A Cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) is a degenerative brain disease that affects many dogs and cats as they age. Currently, there is no standard effective treatment. Integrative medicine therapy such as acupuncture, herbals, nutraceuticals, nutrition, enrichment, and rehab exercises can offer potential benefits and safety for the treatment of CDS and to improve quality of life in geriatric patients. This presentation will provide an overview of CDS in dogs and cats, and its management using patient- centered integrative medicine. We will be discussing mechanism actions and clinical applications of common integrative modalities, such as acupuncture, herbals, supplements, nutrition, and home exercise and enrichment to manage these complicated cases. NEUROREHABILITATION: FROM PRINCIPLES TO PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM | Room 204 A Neurorehabilitation demonstrates evidence and efficacy in the management neurological disorders. This presentation covers the fundamental neurorehabilitation techniques, physical modalities, and therapeutic exercises to treat neuro patient. Specific rehabilitation strategies based on different stages of neuro functional status and practical tips will be discussed. Case studies will be presented. REHABILITATION AND NURSING CARE FOR RECUMBENT ANIMALS Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 2:00 PM - 2:50 PM | Room 204 A Neurorehabilitation is a comprehensive, multimodal approach consisting manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and modality for the management of either traumatic or non-traumatic neurological disorders. The combination of therapeutic interventions appears to have a synergistic effect on functional recovery after neurologic injury. One of the key roles of the rehab therapist in neurorehab is to help the patient relearn optimal movement and function in daily life. As a general principle, rehabilitation aims to maximize functional independence, locomotion, prevent physical deformity, and improve overall quality of life. BECOMING A SPINAL WALKER: TIPS, TRICKS, & PEARLS OF REHABILITATION Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Room 204 A Despite some dogs never regain sensory function to the pelvic limbs following acute severe thoracolumbar spinal cord injury (SCI), with an individualized rehabilitation training program, a subset of them may develop spontaneous motor recovery in their pelvic limbs over time that are strong enough to help them walk independently without assistance. This is known as “spinal walking”. This presentation will provide an overview the locomotor recovery after severe SCI and the possible mechanisms of spinal walking in dogs. We will discuss the clinical characteristics that help you to determine whether the dog would be a candidate for spinal walking, including injury features such as lesion location, timeframe post-injury, age, body

size, body weight, muscle tone, and spasticity. Most importantly, we will focus on tips and tricks to successful training deep pain negative dogs to become spinal walkers with rehabilitation utilizing a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic modalities, nutraceuticals, with the focus on therapeutic exercises (timing, frequency, duration etc). MYOFASCIAL PAIN: MECHANISMS TO MANAGEMENT Ronald Koh, DVM, MS, CVA, CVCH, CVFT, CCRP, CVMMP 4:30 PM - 5:20 PM | Room 204 A Myofascial pain is type of chronic pain that is among the most overlooked musculoskeletal problem in veterinary patients. It described as the sensory, motor, and autonomic symptoms caused by trigger points which typically develop after muscle overuse or underuse. This presentation will provide an overview of myofascia, myofascial trigger points, and myofascial pain, as well as its mechanism, clinical presentations, and diagnosis. The lecture will be focusing on the key to successful management of myofascial pain with multi-disciplinary rehabilitation utilizing a combination of medications, nutraceuticals, manual therapy, exercises, therapeutic modalities, etc. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 REVIEW OF TCVM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS – PART 1 Lorrie Hale Mitchell, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM | Room 204 A Review of TCVM Exam, 5 elements, and meridians. REVIEW OF TCVM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS – PART 2 Lorrie Hale Mitchell, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM | Room 204 A Review of TCVM Exam, 5 elements, and meridians, continued. TCVM PATTERN DEVELOPMENT Lorrie Hale Mitchell, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 10:00 AM - 10:50 AM | Room 204 A TCVM pattern development is key to creating the TCVM treatment plan. UNDERSTANDING AND USING TUI-NA IN YOUR PRACTICE Lorrie Hale Mitchell, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM | Room 204 A Tui-na is a Chinese form of massage and manipulation using acupuncture points and meridians. Technique is great to have clients perform at home. HOW A NON-NUTRITIONIST USES CHINESE FOOD THERAPY Lorrie Hale Mitchell, DVM, MS, CTCVMP, GCTHCP, CTPEP, CVA, CVTP, CVCH, CVFT 12:30 PM - 1:20 PM | Room 204 A Food therapy has been around since mankind has. The adage, you are what you eat, is true. Chinese food therapy can be used to supplement balanced diets to improve quality of life.
