Acupuncture
Ancient technique adapted for pets to relieve pain, reduce nausea, and improve mobility.
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.
Best For
Pets with musculoskeletal issues, neurological conditions, or those who haven't responded to traditional treatments.
Conditions We Treat
What to Expect
The normal way most people see veterinary acupuncture being performed is using a technique called dry needling where the veterinarian inserts acupuncture needles into specified points and leaves them in for a set period of treatment time.
20-45 minutes per session
