What is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Acupuncture uses very thin needles at specific points on the body to encourage natural healing. In veterinary care, this therapy can help with pain, inflammation, and mobility challenges by stimulating circulation and the release of the body’s own healing substances.
This therapy is commonly used alongside standard medical treatments to help pets with a range of conditions that involve discomfort, stiffness, or chronic issues.
Acupuncture may benefit pets experiencing:
-
Joint pain from arthritis or degenerative disease
-
Mobility issues or weakness
-
Chronic pain or muscle tension
-
Neurologic conditions such as disc disease or nerve injuries
-
Support for pets with long-term illnesses or reduced energy
These treatments aim to promote comfort, reduce discomfort, and support overall wellness.
Acupuncture Techniques We Offer
We tailor each treatment plan based on your pet’s needs using several techniques:
-
Dry Needle Acupuncture: Fine needles are placed at targeted points to encourage circulation and natural healing.
-
Aqua-Acupuncture: A small amount of fluid (like saline or vitamin B12) is injected into acupuncture points to extend stimulation.
-
Electroacupuncture: A gentle electrical current enhances the therapeutic effect of standard acupuncture.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Acupuncture
Your pet’s acupuncture visit begins with a focused review of their health history and current concerns. From there, we select the most appropriate technique and treatment points based on their individual needs.
Most pets respond very well to acupuncture. Many relax deeply and some even fall asleep during treatment. Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes, and the number of recommended visits depends on your pet’s condition and response to therapy.
After treatment, pets may appear calm, refreshed, or slightly more energetic. Improvements often become more noticeable over a series of sessions. We will review results with you, discuss next steps, and help plan ongoing care to support your pet’s comfort and progress.
