Acupuncture

We believe in a holistic approach to animal health, and that's why we offer acupuncture as one of our specialized services.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment option for various conditions in pets. Our experienced veterinarians are trained in veterinary acupuncture and can use this ancient practice to help manage pain, promote healing, and enhance your pet's overall well-being.

Benefits of Acupuncture for Pets:

• Pain Management: Acupuncture can alleviate pain caused by arthritis, musculoskeletal issues, or post-operative discomfort. It stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing your pet with relief.
• Enhanced Healing: By improving blood circulation, acupuncture can accelerate the healing process for injuries or surgical wounds. It can also boost the immune system, aiding in recovery from illnesses.
• Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Acupuncture sessions promote relaxation and help reduce stress and anxiety in pets. This can be beneficial for pets experiencing separation anxiety, fear of thunderstorms, or other anxiety-related issues.
• Improved Mobility: Pets with mobility issues, such as those with degenerative joint diseases, can benefit from acupuncture. It can help improve joint flexibility and reduce inflammation, allowing your pet to move more comfortably.
• Support for Chronic Conditions: Acupuncture can be used as part of an integrative treatment plan for chronic conditions like allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, and respiratory problems. It complements traditional veterinary medicine and may reduce the need for certain medications.

How Acupuncture Works:

During an acupuncture session, thin needles are inserted into specific points on your pet's body. These points correspond to channels or meridians that are connected to various organs and body systems. The insertion of needles stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, releases endorphins, and improves blood circulation.

Acupuncture is generally well-tolerated by pets and is typically painless. Many pets find the sessions relaxing, and some may even become sleepy during the treatment. The number of acupuncture sessions required depends on your pet's condition and response to treatment. Our veterinarians will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet's needs.
