Veterinary acupuncture offers a gentle, holistic way to support your pet’s comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. At Companion Animal Clinic, Dr. Moore is trained in veterinary acupuncture and provides personalized acupuncture treatments for dogs and cats based on their individual health needs and goals.
Acupuncture may be used alongside traditional veterinary care to help manage pain, support mobility, and improve quality of life for pets with a variety of health concerns.
Veterinary acupuncture involves the placement of very thin needles at specific points on your pet’s body to support the body’s natural responses and complement conventional veterinary treatment.
Pet acupuncture may be recommended for dogs and cats experiencing arthritis, chronic pain, stiffness, mobility changes, or certain other ongoing health concerns. It may also be incorporated into a treatment plan to support pets recovering from an injury or surgery.
Before recommending acupuncture, Dr. Moore considers your pet’s medical history, current symptoms, medications, lifestyle, and overall health. Treatment frequency and acupuncture points are then tailored to your pet and adjusted based on their response.
Many dogs and cats tolerate acupuncture very well, and some become noticeably relaxed during their treatment sessions.
Acupuncture can be incorporated into a multimodal treatment plan for dogs and cats experiencing arthritis, joint discomfort, back or neck pain, muscle soreness, and other sources of chronic pain.
For pets experiencing stiffness or decreased mobility, acupuncture may help support comfort and movement. It can also complement your veterinarian’s treatment plan during recovery from certain injuries or surgical procedures.
Every pet has different needs. Dr. Moore provides veterinary acupuncture tailored to your pet’s individual health goals and works to integrate holistic treatment options with their overall veterinary care.
Veterinary acupuncture is generally considered a safe, minimally invasive treatment when performed by a veterinarian trained in acupuncture. Dr. Moore will evaluate your pet and determine whether acupuncture is appropriate for their condition and overall health.
The needles used for acupuncture are extremely thin. Most pets tolerate their treatments well, and many become relaxed during their appointments.
Acupuncture may be used as part of a broader treatment plan for pets with arthritis, joint discomfort, stiffness, and mobility problems. Your veterinarian can determine whether acupuncture may be beneficial based on your pet’s individual condition.
There isn’t one schedule that works for every pet. The recommended number and frequency of treatments will depend on your pet’s condition, symptoms, and response to acupuncture. Dr. Moore will develop an individualized treatment plan and make adjustments as needed.
