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. 

What pets feel 

Not only do most pets tolerate acupuncture, but they seem to enjoy it! 

Time 

A typical appointment will last 30-45 minutes with needles staying in for up to 20 minutes. 

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.
