Ive seen in mentioned in threads, but a search didnt bring up anything conclusive.

Some of them also use things like accupuncture and herbs also some conventional vets also use these things. They also tend to be much more expensive than conventional vets. I looked into using one and he charged $60.00 per 15 minute or fraction of 15 minute segment of his time and this was in addition to an office call charge. From what I've heard this is one of the more reasonably priced ones.
