What is Veterinary Acupuncture?

Veterinary acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on your pet's body. These points, known as acupuncture points or acupoints, are carefully chosen to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, balance energy flow, and alleviate pain.

Benefits of Acupuncture for Pets

  • Pain Management: Acupuncture can provide significant relief from both acute and chronic pain. It is particularly helpful in treating conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and post-surgical pain.
  • Stress Reduction: The calming effects of acupuncture can help reduce anxiety and stress in pets, leading to improved behavior and overall well-being.
  • Immune System Support: Regular acupuncture treatments can help strengthen your pet's immune system, making them less susceptible to illness and infection.
  • Improved Digestion: Acupuncture can help regulate gastrointestinal motility, reducing symptoms associated with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and constipation.
  • Respiratory Health: Acupuncture can help manage respiratory issues like asthma and chronic bronchitis by reducing inflammation and promoting healthy lung function.

Our Acupuncture Process

Consultation and Examination: Your pet's acupuncture journey begins with a thorough consultation and examination by our skilled veterinary acupuncturist. This allows us to identify your pet's unique needs and create a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Sessions: During each acupuncture session, our trained practitioner will gently insert thin, sterile needles into specific acupoints on your pet's body. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most pets experiencing minimal discomfort.

Ongoing Care: Depending on your pet's condition and response to treatment, follow-up sessions may be recommended. Our veterinary team will work closely with you to monitor your pet's progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
