The Ancient Wisdom of Acupuncture for Modern Canine Care

Acupuncture, a cornerstone of TCVM, has been used for centuries to promote healing and balance in both humans and animals. By stimulating specific points along the body's energy pathways, acupuncture helps to:

  • Relieve pain and inflammation: Whether your dog is suffering from arthritis, back pain, or post-surgical discomfort, acupuncture can offer a natural and drug-free approach to pain management.
  • Enhance mobility and flexibility: Acupuncture can improve joint function, muscle tone, and nerve function, helping your dog move with greater ease and comfort.
  • Boost the immune system: By promoting overall health and well-being, acupuncture can strengthen your dog's immune system and help them fight off infections and diseases.
  • Reduce anxiety and stress: Acupuncture can help to calm and relax your dog, making it a valuable tool for managing anxiety and stress-related behaviors.

When Acupuncture Can Make a Difference

Acupuncture can benefit dogs of all ages and breeds, addressing a wide range of health concerns, including:

  • Musculoskeletal issues: Arthritis, hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, muscle strains and sprains.
  • Neurological conditions: Seizures, nerve paralysis, and vestibular disease.
  • Gastrointestinal problems: Vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.
  • Skin allergies and irritations.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session

Your dog's journey to wellness begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination at Good Dog Veterinary Rehab. Dr. Harrison will take the time to get to know your dog, discuss their medical history, and understand their specific needs. A thorough physical exam will be performed, paying close attention to any areas of discomfort or dysfunction.

Based on this assessment, Dr. Harrison will create a personalized acupuncture treatment plan that addresses your dog's unique condition and goals. Acupuncture points will be carefully selected to optimize pain relief, promote healing, and enhance overall well-being.

During the acupuncture session at Good Dog Veterinary Rehab, a calm and soothing environment will be created to ensure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Your dog will be gently positioned on a soft mat or in your lap, allowing them to feel safe and secure. Good Dog Veterinary Rehab uses only sterile, single-use needles that are incredibly thin and virtually painless. Many dogs find the sensation of acupuncture to be deeply relaxing, often falling asleep during treatment.

The frequency and duration of acupuncture sessions will depend on your dog's individual needs and response. Some dogs experience immediate improvement, while others may benefit from a series of treatments. Dr. Harrison will work closely with you to monitor your dog's progress and adjust their treatment plan as needed.
