Acupuncture has been shown to treat pain through affects on peripheral, central and autonomic nervous systems. In addition to treating painful conditions, acupuncture may also have a positive effect on organ function, immune function and circulation.
These treatments are safe but should only be practiced by certified veterinarians familiar with underlying disease processes. It is very important to have a complete veterinary exam and working diagnosis before initiating any form of complementary therapy. In our practice, acupuncture is used in conjunction and support of appropriate conventional treatments.
