How does it work?
Pet acupuncture involves the strategic insertion of thin needles at specific points on the body, primarily in areas of muscle tension and along neurovascular pathways. This technique is designed to enhance nerve activity and blood flow, which are crucial for various therapeutic effects. By targeting these precise locations, acupuncture helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Additionally, it effectively alleviates pain, offering a non-invasive treatment option that can significantly improve the overall well-being of pets. This form of therapy is becoming increasingly popular among pet owners seeking alternative or complementary treatment methods for their animals.
What should I expect?
Although some improvement can be noticed after just one treatment, for acute and chronic diseases, three to four weekly treatments are suggested to gain optimum benefit. Following the initial 3 to 4 weekly sessions, monthly sessions are recommended to continue pain management for chronic conditions.
Who can practice this treatment?
Acupuncture on animals is only performed by certified veterinarians who have completed acupuncture training and certification.
