Animal acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in China to help heal many ailments, including acute and chronic physical, mental and spiritual ailments. Over the last few decades, Western medicine has recognized the efficacy of Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture, and animal acupuncture is now endorsed by many veterinarians here in the United States.
During a treatment session, an acupuncturist uses very thin needles to affect the energy flow in the body. Specific points are chosen based on each animal's acute and overall presentation of symptoms, behavior, health and lifestyle history. The insertion of needles at these points assists and activates their body's innate healing abilities.
