WHAT IS ANIMAL ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture and herbal medicines have been used successfully for thousands of years. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be highly effective for a wide variety of disorders including, but not limited to: allergies, arthritis, asthma, chronic renal disease, inflammatory bowel disease, immune-mediated disorders, liver disease, nausea, pain, seizure disorders, skin disease, spinal disease, surgical recovery, and viral infections.
When treating patients, we work to correct the root of the problem as well as the branches or readily apparent symptoms of disease. Treatment is supportive to the proper functioning of the body organs, minimally invasive, and has very few side effects. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are most effective when used preventively, or during the early stage of disease, but can be used for advanced cases. Improvement is usually seen within the first few treatments (sooner for less severe conditions.
