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.

You were phenomenal.Stella Kelly

My husband and I would like to thank Quakertown Vet Clinic for the excellent care given to our girl Ellie Mae. They kept us up to date several times a day regarding her care after her emergency surgery and we were encouraged to call at anytime day or night to check on her progress. All the staff have been very pleasant and helpful throughout her stay. We would highly recommend their vet clinic for the excellent care and satisfaction we received and Ellie Mae is doing very well! Thank you all Julie and Creighton Wiley

My cat had an emergency on a Saturday night. The first "24/7" animal hospital I drove to said they were closed. The second said they had a 12-hour wait. This Quakertown location was friendlier, cleaner, nicer overall, and had my cat back to see a vet within 15 minutes. Based on that, I believe they are one of the only truly 24/7 animal hospitals in the area. They took very good care of my cat and she's recovering well now. I'm not sure she would've survived the night if it wasn't for this clinic. Now, of course it wasn't cheap, but I think the bill was fair and reasonable for emergency care on a Saturday night. A thousand "thank you" isn't enough.
