Veterinary acupuncture for dogs and cats.
Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years in humans and in animals. Just like people, most animals enjoy acupuncture, and find it to be relaxing and peaceful. It is a safe and natural way of helping the body heal itself. Often, it can help in treating a condition that is not well controlled or managed with conventional Western Medicine.
Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for the following conditions:
- Pain Relief
- Musculoskeletal Problems: sore muscles, back pain, intervertebral disc disease, degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis
- Neurologic Disorders: seizures, ataxia, paresis, paralysis
