Why Does My Animal Need Acupuncture?

Would you like your animal to feel better and perform better? Does your animal exhibit any of the following problems?  Are you looking for an alternative or adjunctive therapy to medications or supplements?

 

Performance problems, such as back pain, sore muscles, tendon/ligament strain, & joint pain

 

Degenerative joint disease, especially hip dysplasia & chronic arthritis

 

Allergies and other immune system disorders, especially respiratory allergies such as "heaves" in horses and feline asthma

 

Pain relief, especially musculoskeletal pain

​

Neurologic disorders, such as intervertebral disc disease, degenerative myelopathy, facial nerve paralysis, radial nerve paralysis, & muscle atrophy

​

Senior wellness treatments:  Just because your dog/cat/horse is elderly does not mean they need to feel poorly, have difficulty getting around, or lose their zest for life!  I can help them regain some of their youthful vigor.

 

Behavior or mood problems

 

Poorly healing wounds, such as lick granulomas and lower limb injuries in horses

 

Pre- and post-operative therapy for cruciate ligament injuries


Chronic organ dysfunction, especially liver & kidney

 

Chronic skin disease

 

Chronic digestive problems, such as chronic diarrhea, gastric ulcers, & poor digestion

 

Eye disorders including corneal ulcers & equine recurrent uveitis (“moon blindness”)

 

Laminitis (“founder”)

 

Heel pain syndrome (“navicular”)

 

Chiropractic adjustment follow-up, especially helpful the day of chiropractic treatment to erase muscle memory and enhance the effectiveness of the chiropractic adjustment

​

Dental work follow-up, especially for horses with extensive dental work.  Helps relieve soreness and tension caused by the full-mouth speculum, and release the TMJ joint.

 

Reproductive and fertility problems
