Acupuncture For Your Dog

For centuries, humans have used the art of acupuncture to cure ills and heal pains. This same treatment is also available for your pet. Based on the concept of energy circulation and balance, by inserting thin needles into specific meridians, acupuncture is performed to help rebalance uneven energy which may cause illness.

Acupuncture works best for chronic conditions such as asthma, back pain, and allergies and can be used in conjunction with veterinary treatments. If you are not comfortable with the concept of needles, acupressure may be an alternative. Based on the same concept, acupressure uses finger tips to activate meridians and balance energy.

An excellent source of information or to find an acupuncture practitioner is the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (http://www.ivas.org/). Another useful informational source is The American Veterinary Medication Association (http://www.avma.org/default.asp).
