PET ACUPUNCTURE
Our vet, Katie Longmire specialises in pet acupuncture to help relieve pain and accelerate healing in your furry companion.
What is Pet Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat various ailments in animals. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
How Can Acupuncture Help Your Pet?
Pet acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis and hip dysplasia, as well as neurological disorders, like intervertebral disc disease. It can also be used to manage pain, speed up recovery after surgery, and improve overall quality of life in pets.
The Pet Acupuncture Process at Ryedale Vets
During a pet acupuncture session at Ryedale Vets, our vet, Katie will carefully assess your pet’s condition and create a customised treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. The acupuncture needles are inserted into the acupuncture points and are typically left in place for a short period of time. Many pets find acupuncture to be a relaxing experience and may even fall asleep during treatment.
