Watching a beloved pet in pain after conventional medicine has done its job is tough. Dr. David Knox discusses how veterinary acupuncture offers an alternative treatment option for pets who need more relief than they can gain from diet, exercise, and medications.

Acupuncture is a holistic treatment often used to treat pain and mobility issues. It is an ancient Chinese treatment that has been used on humans and pets for thousands of years. Dog and cat acupuncture aims to stimulate your pets’ natural healing processes by inserting fine needles into certain areas of the body. While not cure-all, pet acupuncture can play an important role in pain management and the healing process for many pets.
