Veterinary Acupuncture Practitioners in Massachusetts

The use of acupuncture in the veterinary care of animals is a practice that has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Utilized to treat everything from allergies and conditions causing pain to the management of diabetes and alleviation of the side effects of other serious conditions, including various cancers, acupuncture is a virtually painless, non-invasive procedure that is well tolerated by animals of all size. As an adjunct treatment to traditional medical veterinary care, acupuncture can help your animal to live more fully and comfortably.

As with all veterinary care, the response of your pet to the visit to the acupuncturist will depend on the nature and temperament of the animal. However, regardless of the level of anxiety experienced by the animal by the trip to the office, once the treatment begins, most animals become extremely relaxed, and many often fall asleep. It is not uncommon for cats to purr during the acupuncture treatment. The needles utilized by acupuncture are very small in diameter, and most animals will not feel anything as they are inserted. In acupuncture treatments utilized by laser, the animal will feel nothing.

Veterinary acupuncturists are well trained both in the medical care of animals and in the practice of acupuncture. Practitioners of veterinary acupuncture must be licensed veterinarians and have received formal training in acupuncture. They will employ various methods of achieving acupuncture benefit in animals. When possible they will achieve the therapeutic effect through the use of acupuncture needles inserted into strategic points in the body, but when necessary, due to the inability or unwillingness of the animal to remain still during the treatment, acupuncture will be performed by employing the use of lasers to trigger the desired response in the acupuncture points.
