About Acupuncture

Veterinary acupuncture works through the stimulation of specific points on the body using acupuncture needles to activate the nervous system and produce a physiological response such as decreasing pain, relaxation, or increasing local blood circulation. It can be used to help many conditions including arthritis, muscle strains, acute soft tissue injuries, intervertebral disk disease, allergies, asthma, and much more.
