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.

Dr. Hurst and Dr. A. Schoenlein have always been very caring, patient and supportive with fluffy (my pom dog) and they understand fluffy’s needs and medications side effects as he can be irritable ,annoyed and stressed for being at the animal hospital specially when he is touched by people other than his owner but they have been able to handle him with love and care and he accepts that very well. The nurse at the ER was extremely helpful and very kind a especial thank you to her unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she helped fluffy to be calmed by playing relaxing music to him which I always do when he is stressed I was impressed that she knew what to do to make fluffy feel comfortable during his echocardiogram. Thank you Quakertown staff !!

I recently had to come in to the ER with a cockatiel I got from a bad situation that wasn’t in great health. We brought her in to our normal vet a few days ago for some issues, when they got worse suddenly we brought her in. All of the staff was very attentive and got her into an oxygen chamber to help her hang breathing. Unfortunately, she passed away before Dr. Free could even examine her.So while I can’t quite comment on the quality of care, everyone who we spoke with was very kind, empathetic, and attentive to our questions. Because of this I would come back again no question. I feel comfortable knowing an ER is nearby that I can bring my other birds to. Since there wasn’t really any care done, we had no charges. They also sent us home with a beautiful box to bury our little Lemon in, free of charge. Thank you to the team on staff yesterday who tried to help her!
