Question:
Can acupuncture be helpful to pets?
Answer:
Yes, acupuncture can be very helpful in all companion animals, not only as a means of treatment but, more importantly, as a preventative means of keeping them healthier and happier for the longest time possible. Acupuncture has proven beneficial in the following conditions in my experience (plus many more): asthma, allergies, arthritis, anxiety/behavior issues, musculoskeletal problems, sprains, strains, muscle spasms, bursitis, tendonitis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, urinary diseases, neuralgia, disc problems, spondylosis, intervertebral disc problems, skin conditions, kidney conditions, liver diseases, various types of cancer, pain management, immune system conditions, the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, Lyme disease, chronic and acute diarrhea or constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, hind end weakness, wobbler disease, pulmonary problems such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and cardiac support.
