Acupuncture

Animal acupuncture is an alternative pain management therapy based on traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting fine needles into specific points into the animal's uppermost superficial dermis (the skin and supporting tissues).

When used for pain management therapy, acupuncture for animals aims to reduce or control pain by stimulating various mechanisms in the body. It can be used alone or in conjunction with conventional regiments such as medication, osteopathy or nutritional management, as part of a comprehensive pain management plan.
