What is Acupuncture and what can it treat?
Western medical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles in critical points on the body using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology. These needles work to stimulate the nervous system to reduce inflammation, pain, and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities to promote physical well-being.
This form of alternative medicine has been extensively researched with thousands of peer-reviewed studies to prove the benefits in a variety of conditions. These include arthritis, disc disease, nerve pain, post-surgical healing, hormonal or metabolic conditions, skin conditions, gastrointestinal problems, epilepsy, anxiety and more.

What to expect
In order to set treatment up for the best success, we will start with a consultation to perform a thorough physical and musculoskeletal examination. Depending on what is found and what your pet is presenting for, additional diagnostics such as bloodwork and radiographs may be recommended. This first appointment will take an hour to accomplish these tasks, as well as create an individualized and integrative treatment plan that best suits your pet. Oftentimes, depending on the condition that we are treating, your pet will require multiple treatments (in general, 4-6 treatments). We also incorporate other medications and supplements to provide well-rounded care. After your pet is feeling better, treatments may become less frequent.
