Acupuncture

Relaxation and Relief for Your Best Friend

Veterinary acupuncture is a gentle, holistic therapy performed by a trained veterinarian

that uses very fine needles placed at specific points on a dog’s body to stimulate natural

healing and restore balance. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and supported by

modern research, acupuncture works by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation,

and triggering the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins.

When performed by a veterinarian, treatments are carefully tailored to each pet’s condition,

whether it’s arthritis, nerve issues, mobility problems, or post-surgical recovery. Most dogs

tolerate acupuncture very well and often become relaxed during sessions, making it a safe,

minimally invasive option to enhance comfort, improve function, and support overall wellness..

Pain relief – helps reduce chronic and acute pain (arthritis, injuries, back issues)
Reduces inflammation – supports healing and decreases swelling
Supports nervous system – improves nerve function and can help with neurological conditions
Improves mobility – helps stiff joints and increases range of motion
Decreases need for medications – can reduce reliance on pain drugs
Enhances circulation – improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues
Speeds recovery – aids healing after surgery or injury
Promotes relaxation – many dogs become calm or sleepy during treatment
Restores balance – supports overall body function and wellness
Improves quality of life – helps pets feel more comfortable, active, and happy

Acupuncture sessions typically last 20-45 minutes,

with owners welcome to remain present

throughout the visit. The veterinarian will

perform treatment on either a cushioned mat

or table, carefully choosing the option that

keeps your dog most comfortable and at ease.
