What benefits does acupuncture have for pets?
Acupuncture therapy can be determined based on the pets specific needs, such as attempting to treat a condition or aid in preventative health. For animals who may be in agility training, acupuncture can be used to help keep muscles and tendons resistant to injury. For treatment, acupuncture can be used to help treat a pet battling minor to severe musculoskeletal trauma, such as intervertebral disk disease (IVDD).
