Acupuncture in veterinary medicine:
Natural Healing for Your Pet

Acupuncture is a proven treatment method that has its origins in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is also increasingly used in veterinary medicine to alleviate a variety of ailments and sustainably improve the well-being of animals.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture is based on the idea that the body is crisscrossed by energy channels, known as meridians. By placing fine needles at specific acupuncture points, the flow of energy (Qi) is harmonized, blockages are released and the body's self-healing powers are activated. Modern scientific research also shows that acupuncture promotes the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, which relieves pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Areas of Application of Acupuncture in Veterinary Medicine

Acupuncture can be effective in both acute and chronic diseases. The most important areas of application include:

• Musculoskeletal system: arthrosis, disc problems, lameness, muscle tension

• Neurological diseases: paralysis, nerve damage, epilepsy

• Digestive disorders: Chronic diarrhea, constipation, gastrointestinal problems

• Respiratory diseases: asthma, chronic cough

• Skin diseases: allergies, itching, eczema

• Behavioral problems: stress, anxiety, restlessness

Each treatment begins with a detailed examination and anamnesis to determine your animal's individual complaints. The therapist then places the fine needles at specific points, where they remain for 10 to 30 minutes. Most animals react relaxed to the treatment, as they find it soothing. In many cases, a significant improvement in symptoms can be seen after just a few sessions.
