Equine Acupuncture
Acupuncture for horses can be used to treat musculoskeletal, neurological, and reproductive issues. It is also great to help improve performance, ease stress, and as a maintenance therapy. Treatments are well tolerated and have no drug withdrawals. We utilize dry needling and electro-acupuncture regularly. Because acupuncture can cause pets to be tired, it is recommended not to ride for 24 hours after a treatment.
Small Animal Acupuncture
Dogs and cats usually handle acupuncture treatment very well. For best results, they should be in a relaxed environment. Acupuncture is great for neurological conditions, musculoskeletal dysfunction (including osteoarthritis), and metabolic diseases. Acupuncture should be painless and calming to both you and your beloved pet.
Large Animal Acupuncture
Acupuncture has shown to be a safe and effective way to help with multiple bovine conditions. Additionally, it has no drug withdrawal times, making it ideal for production and show animals. Those that are not halter trained will need to have stocks available for treatment.
Laser Therapy
Also called "photobiomodulation", laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects. With this laser device light interacts with tissues at the cellular level to increase circulation, stimulate celllular regeneration and increase cellular function. Laser therapy as many similar effects as acupuncture, but is completely non-invasive.
There have been extensive controlled scientific studies that show laser therapy's ability to help with:
- Osteoarthritis
- Muscle strains
- Tendon/Ligament Strains
- Wound healing
- Neck/Back Pain
- Nerve regeneration
Similar to acupuncture, improvement can be seen after the first treatment, but most patient require a few treatments before significant results are visible.
Is it safe?
Laser therapy is one of the safest non-invasive therapies that we have today. No restraint or sedation is needed for your pet to receive this treatment. As with acupuncture most animals enjoy the calming effect and will sit quietly for their treatment.
