What Is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Veterinary acupuncture is a proven technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves the placement of fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, improve circulation, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Common conditions acupuncture can help manage include:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Neurological conditions
- Muscle tension and spasms
- Post-surgical recovery
- Digestive issues
- Overall stress and anxiety relief
Acupuncture is safe, minimally invasive, and often highly relaxing for pets. Benefits include:
- Pain management without heavy reliance on medications
- Improved mobility and quality of life
- Support for chronic conditions and senior pets
- Integrative treatment alongside Western medicine
Dr. Hooge is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA), with extensive training in both Eastern and Western veterinary practices. This dual expertise allows her to create personalized, integrative treatment plans that meet each pet’s unique needs.
