At Lakewood Animal Hospital we offer Acupuncture provided by Dr. Cross. Each acupuncture point has specific actions when stimulated. This technique has been used in veterinary practice in China for thousands of years.
For small animals, the following are some of the general conditions which may be treated with acupuncture:
-Musculoskeletal problems: Arthritis, intervertebral disk disease, or traumatic nerve injury
-Respiratory problems, such as feline asthma
-Skin problems such as lick granulomas and allergic dermatitis
-Gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea
-Select reproductive problems
In addition, regular acupuncture treatment can treat minor sports injuries as they occur and help to keep muscles and tendons resistant to injury. World-class professional and amateur athletes often use acupuncture as a routine part of their training. If your animals are involved in any athletic endeavor, such as racing, jumping, or showing, acupuncture can help them keep in top physical condition.
The American Veterinary Medical Association considers veterinary acupuncture a valid modality within the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery.
