Pet Acupuncture

Natural Relief with Expert Pet Acupuncture

Chimney Rock Animal Hospital offers acupuncture therapy as a fantastic wellness options. Acupuncture Therapy involves inserting very small needles at specific designated points in the body that can be used to treat a variety of problems. Acupuncture dates back thousands of years as a healing treatment, and there is a significant amount of modern research that shows that stimulating these points throughout the body releases beta-endorphins, dynorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters. We primarily use acupuncture in veterinary medicine to treat painful conditions, and it can be very effective because it works on pain receptors at the site of injury, in spinal cord segment and influences how pain is received in the brain. We also have a light therapy device to stimulate the acupuncture points in patients that may be sensitive to needle insertion! At Chimney Rock Animal Hospital, we utilize acupuncture in all of our patients: dogs, cats, horses and stock show animals, with lots of success!
