Acupuncture
Veterinary Acupuncture
Acupuncture promotes healing, reduces pain, and enhances well-being for pets of all life stages.
Acupuncture can benefit pets at all life stages—juvenile, adult, and senior—by addressing a variety of conditions. One of the key benefits of this approach is its ability to identify and resolve underlying causes of illness, reducing the cumulative effects of chronic diseases. Given that many health problems are diagnosed only after becoming advanced, acupuncture plays a vital role in preventing disease and maintaining overall well-being.
What Can Veterinary Acupuncture Do for My Dog or Cat?
- Relieves Pain: Acupuncture stimulates the release of the body’s own pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances.
- Muscle Relaxation: It relaxes muscles at the needle insertion site and beyond, creating both localized and generalized pain relief.
- Improves Circulation: Acupuncture enhances blood flow, oxygenation, and the removal of metabolic wastes and toxins.
- No Adverse Effects: Unlike prescription pain medications, acupuncture has no adverse side effects on internal organs.
- Safe Combination Therapy: It can safely complement your pet’s existing medications or supplements without interaction concerns.
How Does Veterinary Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture’s primary goal is to promote the body’s natural healing mechanisms. By enhancing blood circulation, stimulating the nervous system, and encouraging the release of anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving hormones, it supports recovery and well-being.
The technique involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body where nerve bundles and blood vessels intersect. These points, known as acupuncture points, are distributed across the body along pathways called meridians. These meridians allow energy to flow throughout the body in a balanced cycle over 24 hours, supporting overall vitality.
