Veterinary Acupuncture Treatment for Pets

According to ancient Chinese medical philosophy, disease is the result of an imbalance or blockage of energy in the body. Acupuncture is believed to balance this energy and release the blockage, thereby assisting the body to heal disease. It involves the insertion of fine sterile needles in specific points of the body. These points are highly innervated and highly vascularized (lots of blood and nerve supply) making them great points to promote healing, hemostasis and pain relief. Using anatomy, physiology, and pathology and involving an important type of physical exam called “myofascial palpation” allows the doctor to locate sources of discomfort and dysfunction.

Acupuncture can also be useful as an adjunct to Western therapy. Conditions that may respond especially well include:

Musculoskeletal complaints, like osteoarthritis, knee pain, back pain, neck pain, painful joints, and muscle issues
Digestive problems like motility problems and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract
Respiratory issues like rhinitis, sinusitis, and recurrent infection
Neurologic problems like disc disease, back injuries, spinal cord, injuries, and nerve based problems

Benefits of Veterinary Acupuncture

Veterinary acupuncture offers numerous benefits for pets. It can alleviate pain, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. This holistic approach stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, aiding in the management of various conditions such as arthritis and neurological disorders. Veterinary acupuncture also complements traditional treatments, providing a non-invasive option with minimal side effects, improving the quality of life for pets.

We have been taking our dogs to Quakertown Vet for years and have been pleased with the care they have received. From boarding and doggie daycare, to vaccinations, to regular check-ups, and beyond, they have been great. Recently, we had to make the difficult decision to put our oldest dog to sleep. He was suffering. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the compassion shown to us and the way they handled this. It was one of the hardest things we had to do, and they were so incredibly supportive and understanding and made the whole experience comfortable for us and for our pet. Nothing prepares you for these moments, but they went above and beyond to make it as peaceful and comfortable as possible. I felt it necessary to express my gratitude here.

I have been taking my cats there for a while now. Their quality of care is unmatched. Dr. Luchenbach and her assistant Megan (I hope I do her justice) are fabulous! They are compassionate, kind , sympathetic, caring and offer grace to fur babies parents (like myself) when faced with heartbreaking decisions- God bless the practice and all of their staff ♥️
