‘Acupuncture & Rehabilitation Therapy’ is an expanding area of veterinary care focused on creating individualised treatment plans to relieve your pet’s pain and enhance their function, mobility, and fitness. This approach employs various therapies, including therapeutic exercises, massage and acupuncture, providing a drug-free alternative or complimentary treatment method to improve your pets quality of life.
As with use in humans, Pet Acupuncture is an integrative, drug-free, holistic method to enhance your pet’s health and well being through natural healing. Known for its pain-relieving effects, acupuncture also benefits various body systems. Precise needle placement and stimulation can activate the nervous system, manipulate connective tissue, boost the immune system, and improve blood flow. This approach not only reduces pain but also aids tissue healing, enhances fascial function, and improves organ function, helping to manage many common pet diseases and conditions
‘Acupuncture & Rehabilitation Therapy’ can also be used to get your pet moving sooner after surgery which can have significant improvements to post op outcomes.

– Chronic lameness and/or pain
