- Post-surgical recovery support
- Mobility and rehabilitation advice
- Complementary and supportive options
- Integration with medical treatment
Complementary, and we mean the word.
These treatments sit alongside a medical diagnosis and plan. They are not a substitute for one, and we will not present them as such.
Often for the long, grinding problems.
Chronic pain, arthritis and slow recoveries are where owners most often ask us about acupuncture, and where it is most reasonable to try.
- Chronic arthritis or musculoskeletal pain
- Recovery after surgery or injury
- Where medication alone is not enough
- Where medication is poorly tolerated
Diagnosis first, always.
We work out what is wrong before we treat it. Anything we offer has to be justifiable next to the conventional option.
Common questions
The things owners ask us most.
Most tolerate it well and many relax during a session. We stop if your pet is distressed.
It varies. We review after an agreed short course rather than committing you open-endedly.
Sometimes it reduces what is needed. Any change to medication is a veterinary decision made with you.
Performed by a veterinarian with training in the technique.
We don't just care for pets. We care for the people who love them.
