Conditions That Acupuncture for Your Pets May Improve
Many conditions can benefit from our combination treatment medicine and Acupuncture for your pets, mostly dogs. These include:
Arthritis and Joint Disease
The most common reasons pet parents seek dog acupuncture are chronic pain and loss of mobility from joint disease.
Skin Conditions
If your dog or cat is being treated for allergic dermatitis or lick granulomas, veterinary Acupuncture may be used as a complementary treatment.
Nerve Pain
Especially dogs who have a bulging disc, spinal arthritis, or a pinched nerve may experience relief from Acupuncture.
Hormonal or Metabolic Conditions
Dogs or cats who suffer from hormonal conditions like Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, and diabetes mellitus may find relief through Acupuncture.
Post-Surgery
Acupuncture may help relieve surgery pain and anxiety and follow-up visits to the veterinarian.
Trauma Disorders
Dogs or cats who've been hit by a car, broken a bone, or experienced other trauma that caused pain and inflammation may benefit from our acupuncture therapy.
How Many Acupuncture Sessions Will Your Pet Need?
At The Melrose Vet, our acupuncture treatment session may remain between 30 and 60 minutes.
Your pet treatments depend on which disease process and the disease being treated; typically, four to six sessions and the frequency of treatments depend on the pet, the condition, and the type of treatment.
