What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of healing using very fine sterile needles which are inserted into the skin into specific points on the body. This technique has been used in veterinary practice in China for thousands of years to treat many ailments. The Chinese also use acupuncture as preventative medicine. Acupuncture is used all around the world, either along or in conjunction with Western medicine, to treat a wide variety of conditions in every species of animal. Adding acupuncture to a treatment plan can help to reduce the patient’s requirements for medications which may have undesirable side effects.
Treatment works by altering the pain messages reaching the brain through the nerves. It also relaxes painful muscle spasms, causes release of natural healing chemicals in the body and releases endorphins, the body's own painkillers, which not only give effective pain relief but also stimulate the immune system, balancing the body's own systems of healing.
Most importantly, acupuncture is extremely safe when practiced correctly and is well accepted by the majority of animals.
