Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points along pathways called meridians. Similar to people, acupuncture in animals can be extraordinarily effective in treating a variety of conditions, ranging from arthritis and neurologic dysfunction to metabolic disorders and allergies. Acupuncture is especially beneficial for geriatric pets and those suffering from terminal illness as it can alleviate pain and greatly improve their quality of life, keeping them feeling like their younger selves!
