Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been practiced in both humans and animals for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Acupuncture has four main components, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, and medical manipulation. Your pets' Acupuncture session will involve the insertion of thin sterile needles into discrete and specifics points on their body in order to cause a therapeutic effect. This integrative approach increases circulation that can alter nerve activity and help heal the nervous system, which should help decrease pain and inflammation. Acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative medicine that can treat a variety of conditions in pets.
