How does acupuncture help pets?
Acupuncture results in complex actions involving the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. This can cause positive effects locally, such as relieving a painful joint and systemically by triggering the release of analgesic chemicals from the brain such as endorphins and serotonin. Overall, acupuncture can help to relieve pain, improve circulation, and promote healing.
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
At Your Bark & Call Veterinary House, we use acupuncture to treat a variety of conditions in pets, such as:
-
Arthritis
-
Chronic pain
-
Digestive disorders
-
Skin conditions
-
Allergies
This results in an increase in blood flow and the release of endorphins, which helps to relieve pain and improve healing.
What is a typical acupuncture session like?
At Your Bark & Call Veterinary House, we always start with a thorough consultation to get to know you and your pet. This allows us to develop the best possible treatment plan.
Acupuncture sessions last approximately 30-45 minutes, during which your pet will be relaxed and comfortable. We may also use other modalities such as electro-acupuncture during the session.
