Acupuncture 

Acupuncture is the insertion of a sterile needle into the body for the purpose of therapy, disease prevention, or maintenance of health.

How it works 

The needles stimulate the body to heal itself by using its own internal physiological mechanisms via a vast neural, myofascial, lymphatic, and vascular network.

Conditions treated 

Acupuncture is used for a variety of medical diagnoses. Dr.Jenn uses it mostly to treat pain from orthopedic or neurological diseases. For some conditions, Dr. Jenn may recommend electroacupuncture, which helps to accelerate the healing process for some severe, chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis and paralysis or weakness.

Treatments 

The number of treatments depends on your pet's condition. However, most pets benefit from once to twice weekly treatments initially with chronic conditions usually requiring regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly treatments.
