How is Acupuncture Performed and When Is It Helpful?
Acupuncture is a gentle and highly effective treatment that uses very fine needles inserted into specific points on the body. It's a safe procedure that may also include mild electrical stimulation to enhance the effects of the needles. The needles typically stay in place for 15-20 minutes during each session.
Acupuncture is often used to:
- Manage pain (chronic or acute)
- Address weakness or muscle spasms
- Help with issues like incontinence
- Support neurological recovery and overall wellness
The treatment schedule usually starts with weekly sessions, then shifts to every other week as your pet progresses. Acupuncture can be a powerful complementary therapy alongside other medical treatments, providing relief and improving quality of life.
Why Choose Veterinary Neurology Center for Your Pet's Alternative Medicine?
Dr. Heller's expertise in acupuncture and holistic care adds a valuable option to our already advanced neurological services. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or experiencing weakness or incontinence, acupuncture offers a safe, non-invasive treatment to enhance healing and provide comfort.
