Interested in how acupuncture can benefit your pet?
Acupuncture works by stimulating defined points on the body to produce a specific physiologic response. Although this is an ancient practice, research has demonstrated that stimulation of certain points can increase blood circulation and produce physiologic responses due to release of various hormones. There are many potential applications for veterinary acupuncture including:
-
assisting in management of arthritis pain
-
improving mobility for dogs with intervertebral disc disease
-
improving healing for orthopedic injuries
-
relief of pain related to neurologic conditions
-
relief of pain related to orthopedic conditions (such as hip dysplasia)
