#HARMONY VET CARE NEAR ME PROFESSIONAL#
Marcus completed certification in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (VSMT) from the Healing Oasis Veterinary Wellness Center and since then has also received certification in Veterinary Massage and Rehabilitation (VMRT) as well as becoming a faculty member at the Healing Oasis for VSMT.Ĭurrent professional interests include spinal manipulation (small animal as well as horses/various other large animal species) and canine sports medicine and rehabilitation. Following his internship Marcus entered mixed animal practice where he did mostly horse and small animal work before transitioning into mostly small animal practice. Marcus Wisniewski graduated from the University of Illinois with a doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2016 and completed an internship at Wisconsin Equine Clinic and Hospital. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the harmonyVet team enabling animals to be their very best.ĭr. I believe a holistic approach to any living being’s health is paramount and as a holistic veterinarian it is my desire to help animals in this approach. I receive acupuncture and chiropractic care therefore, my goal is to be able to offer the same level of care to my patients that is offered to humans. I try to “practice what I preach” so when I had debilitating lower back pain I turned to acupuncture to pull me through it and found that therapeutic yoga keeps my back happy. In addition to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and veterinary spinal manipulation therapy I enjoy veterinary nutrition and look forward to studying new modalities such as Tui-Na (medical massage) and Joint Yoga. It was during my studies to become an acupuncturist that I met both Drs. I became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist in 2008 from the Chi University. After being in private veterinary medicine and surgical practice for 6 years, I was inspired to learn different modalities for patient care so I turned to integrated medicine. I lived a healthy lifestyle: I was a vegetarian, did not eat processed sugar, and rode my bicycle to school, yet felt I needed to do more. My holistic interest developed when I was faced with cancer while in veterinary school. This is an invaluable tool for animal health, especially since they cannot speak for themselves! During vet school, I was selected to work as one of the four students to be on call for the clinical pathology department where I learned to appreciate the importance of diagnostics. I moved back to Wisconsin and enrolled in the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2001. It was then I realized I needed to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. Prior to going to Vet School, I was a pharmaceutical sales representative in my hometown of Chicago. I also enjoy supporting owners by empowering them with appropriate techniques to help their pets at home including massage, rehabilitation exercises, tui-na and acupressure. Sharing my knowledge of these modalities with other veterinarians is one of my favorite things to do.Īs a veterinarian, my goal is to provide the most appropriate and helpful holistic treatment to my patients to facilitate their comfort, quality of life and longevity. I am currently on the faculty for the Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy program at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center in Sturtevant, WI and a teaching assistant for the small animal acupuncture class at Chi University in Reddick, FL. My passion for acupuncture and spinal manipulation stretches further than my private practice. I find this combination of medicine incredibly rewarding because I can help many more animals suffering from chronic pain and disease.

There were always animals that I wished I could do more for, especially concerning pain control.Īfter my first acupuncture class I so loved this direction of practice that I studied all of the modalities offered at Chi University and changed my focus to 100% TCVM, eventually adding spinal manipulation, massage and rehabilitation to my practice. I became interested in acupuncture and holistic veterinary medicine during my 10 years of small animal practice at State College Veterinary Hospital.
