Why choose acupuncture for our pets?
Acupuncture is a minimally invasive treatment for pain management that was first practiced by the Chinese hundreds of years ago. Acupuncture points charted by Chinese scholars were thought to have connection to various internal organs via meridian (channels).
Acupuncture gives us better control of chronic diseases that may not be adequately treated by western medicine. It can also speed healing time and aid in pain control. Acupuncture is safe and effective, has little to no side effects, and increases general wellness and health span through preventative medicine.
