How Cat and Dog Acupuncture Heals

Cat and dog acupuncture is not commonly utilized in most veterinary practices. Therefore, you may have questions about how it functions, and whether it will be effective. It is generally used in conjunction with other treatments, such as prescription medication and laser therapy. This multi-modal approach often yields the best results.

Cat and Dog acupuncture involves placing small, thin needles at specific points on the body. These points are usually where nerves, blood vessels and muscle junctions converge. When needles are placed at these points, they stimulate the nervous system to produce a complex series of reactions. These result in a therapeutic effect in which the body's self-healing properties take over, relieving pain, reducing inflammation and increasing longevity.
