Acupuncture

Restoring Comfort, Balance, and Wellness

Acupuncture is a time-honored healing practice with modern benefits for pets. This ancient Chinese therapy uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, improving circulation, releasing pain-relieving endorphins, and supporting overall balance. At Beachwood Animal Clinic, we incorporate acupuncture into a comprehensive approach to veterinary care, combining traditional medicine with holistic techniques to enhance comfort and recovery.

How Acupuncture Can Benefit Pets

Pets of all ages and conditions may experience improvements through acupuncture, which is commonly used to:

• Reduce arthritis and joint discomfort
• Ease inflammation and muscle stiffness
• Support mobility after injury or surgery
• Alleviate allergies and skin irritation
• Promote digestive and gastrointestinal health
• Assist with respiratory or neurological conditions
• Encourage relaxation and reduce stress

Most pets find the experience calming, and many relax—or even nap—during treatment.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Yes. Veterinary acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive therapy that does not involve medications, eliminating concerns about drug interactions or overdoses. It can be used alongside conventional treatments, physical therapy, or herbal supplements to enhance healing and overall effectiveness.

What to Expect During a Session

Each session begins with a thorough evaluation to determine which acupuncture points will provide the most benefit. Treatments typically last 15–30 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs. While some conditions respond quickly, chronic issues may require ongoing sessions for optimal results.

Acupuncture offers a gentle, natural way to improve comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Schedule a consultation at Beachwood Animal Clinic today and discover how this integrative therapy can support your pet’s health and quality of life.
