Acupuncture, which originated in China, has been used as a therapeutic treatment option for thousands of years. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body is composed of numerous pathways called “meridians,” along which energy flows. When disease is present, energy is interrupted or unbalanced. Stimulating acupuncture points along the meridians can restore energy flow, resulting in improved health.
Clinical trials indicate that acupuncture therapy can be effective for the following conditions:

However, incorrect placement of the needle or inadequate sterilization can result in pain or complications, which is why you should only have a qualified practitioner perform acupuncture on your pet.
To determine if your pet’s condition(s) may be responsive to this treatment modality, please set up an exam with Dr. Hinze, CVA at Winslow Animal Hospital.
