We offer acupuncture services for your pets both in the comfort of your home and in a clinic environment.

Acupuncture works through a process called neuromodulation.  A tiny needle is inserted in the skin at specific points where neurovascular bundles innervate the skin and the underlying tissues.  The nerve is stimulated, afferent nerve fibers travel to the brain, stimulating endorphine release and increasing bloodflow to and from the stimulated points.  

As a result acupuncture can help with a variety of health problems:  asthma, allergies, upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, gastrointestinal disease (ulcers, inflammatory bowel, constipation, colitis, esophageal conditions), muscle, tendon and ligament injuries, kidney failure, liver disease, radial nerve paralysis, degenerative myelopathy, intervertebral disk disease, feline lower urinarty tract disease, arthritis (spondylsis, hip dysplasia, shoulder/elbow arthritis). incontinence.  It can also be used as an adjuvant to cancer treatment and pain management.  

Most pets require weekly treatments for 4-6 weeks and then can be discontinued or decreased.  More chronic conditions may require weekly treatments for the life of the animal.
