The Power of Acupuncture

Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine practice, involves the strategic placement of fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This therapeutic technique has proven to be highly beneficial for pets, offering a range of advantages, including:

Increased Circulation: Acupuncture enhances blood circulation, facilitating better healing throughout the body.
Modulation of the Immune System: By stimulating specific points, acupuncture has the potential to modulate the immune system, promoting overall health.
Relief from Muscle Spasms and Pain: Acupuncture can help relax muscles and alleviate pain in pets experiencing muscle spasms or discomfort.
Release of Neurochemicals, Including Endorphins: Acupuncture triggers the release of neurochemicals, such as endorphins, providing a natural and effective way to manage pain.
Optimized Healthy Nerve Transmission: The stimulation of acupuncture points supports healthy nerve transmission, contributing to overall well-being.
Regulation of Hormone Levels: Acupuncture has been shown to regulate hormone levels, promoting balance within the body.

Our Acupuncture Services

At Circle L Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer both traditional dry needling and electroacupuncture, a modern variation that involves passing electrical currents between pairs of needles. Recent studies have shown that electroacupuncture, particularly on immune-stimulating points, can lead to the release of stem cells into the bloodstream, further enhancing the healing process.

Common Questions About Acupuncture

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is a safe and minimally invasive procedure. We use sterile, single-use needles to reduce the risk of infection. Complications are extremely rare.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific points to stimulate the nervous system, which, in turn, can alter biochemical and physiologic properties throughout the body.

How often is acupuncture done?

Acupuncture is typically performed 1-2 times per week until a positive response is observed. Acute issues may respond within 1-3 treatments, while chronic conditions may require 3-6 treatments. Afterward, treatments are tapered based on the pet’s response.

What conditions does acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture can be beneficial for various conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, hip dysplasia, post-operative rehab, nerve injuries, allergies, and respiratory issues, among others.
