Veterinary Acupuncture
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
