Before Treatment Every Owner Must:
By state law, animals must be seen by a veterinarian before beginning acupuncture treatment. The owner must bring documentation of this veterinarian visit to the initial acupuncture appointment. The vet does not need to approve the acupuncture or complete any particular exam or paperwork. Any office visit would qualify including vaccination or other routine exam/procedure. I will maintain communication with your veterinarian regarding your pet's progress.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a powerful medical therapy used throughout the world to effectively treat many health conditions. The benefits of acupuncture are now well documented by medical researchers and acknowledged by The World Health Organization and The National Institutes of Health. Acupuncture is safe, gentle, and affordable.
Acupuncture acts on the system of pathways that cover the entire body similiar to the circulatory system and nervous system. Acupuncture adjusts the energy and blood flow, leading it to areas where it is needed and moving it to areas where it is stuck or blocked. In this way, acupuncture restores the harmonious balance of the body, speeds healing, and reduces pain.
What are treatments like and how many will your pet need?
The initial evaluation and treatment includes time to discuss your pet's health history, and treatment goals. Extremely thin needles (slightly thicker than a hair) willl be placed below the skin and left in place for a few seconds to several minutes. There is very little sensation of the needles which are nothing like an ordinary injection. The needles are sterile, used only once and disposed. Animals frequently experience deep relaxation during the treatment.
Acupuncture can be a highly effective therapy when pets follow a recommended treatment schedule. The amount of treatment needed depends on the nature, severity,, and duration of the condition as well as the pet's age, general health, diet, exercise, activity, and stress level. Many of the common conditions treated require at least two treatments per week for several weeks and longer for more serious, chronic issues.
Call 301-788-9451 to discuss treatment options for your pet or to schedule an appointment.
