What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that works to help promote pain relief and other health benefits in the body. This minimally invasive treatment is relatively pain-free and uses super-thin needles that are inserted into the skin. Acupuncture treatment is targeted, and practitioners work with patients to get an understanding of their health needs prior to their acupuncture treatment.
How Does Acupuncture for Dogs Work?
Some health conditions, like arthritis, can make it tough for your dog to get around. While medication can help, adding holistic treatments to your dog's wellness routine may provide him with the extra support that he needs to feel their best.
If your dog is suffering from a condition that results in chronic pain, we may recommend that you consider holistic treatments like animal acupuncture. In addition to the treatment of chronic pain, acupuncture can also be helpful for animals who are showing signs of high stress levels.
Most pets don't need anesthesia or sedation in order to receive acupuncture treatment. If your pet is already scheduled for surgery, we may talk with you about whether it makes sense to include acupuncture as a part of his recovery. Many pets seem to find acupuncture to be relaxing and may actually fall asleep during their session.
We'll talk with you about the type of schedule that makes sense for your pet's acupuncture. We may adjust your pet's treatment schedule as we learn how he responds to treatment.
