Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a medical therapy that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago. The first veterinary acupuncture text books appeared around 250 BCE. Acupuncture is an important part in Traditional Chinese Medicine along with nutritional therapy, herbal therapy, and lifestyle recommendations. Traditional Chinese Medicine attributes disease to imbalances in the body. Acupuncture needles inserted appropriately can help correct these imbalances allowing patients to heal more rapidly. Acupuncture needles stimulate the body’s nervous system, regulating blood circulation, and releasing neuro-chemicals that help alleviate pain. The benefits of acupuncture can be immediate, or they can be realized over several days/treatments depending on the underlying condition. Acupuncture broadens our abilities to treat certain ailments in your pets.
