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.

Great veterinary practice! Easy to get appointments. Have seen several Drs. for my dogs and always pleased.

After moving to Pennsylvania and having a hiking incident where my puppy got infested with ticks, my fiancé and I were scrambling to find a new vet that would quickly accept an emergency walk-in for a reasonable price. This clinic checked all the boxes. Then, when it came time for my puppy to get a spaying procedure, it was a no-brainer to take her to Quakertown for pre-op bloodwork/getting a quote for the surgery. Not only is this place reasonably priced, but Dr John Hurst is phenomenal. He is kind, an active listener, and even got on the floor to interact with our crazy energetic puppy. It’s so beautiful to see someone that human, while also being professional. I don’t write Google reviews often, but I’m hoping this helps a worrisome pet parent find the reassurance that this clinic is wonderful. Dr Hurst called me before the surgery and answered all questions I had, and gave me a call right after the procedure was done. The clinic also gave text updates! I will bring my Maple here for the rest of her life. Thank you all for the wonderful work you do each day.
