What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles at various depths into specific points on the body to manage pain and disease. It is practised on both humans and animals. Acupuncture for pets is administered by a trained Veterinary Acupuncturist.  There is scientific evidence to show that acupuncture is effective in relieving chronic pain, and pets suffering from conditions such as osteo-arthritis usually respond well to this treatment. It is often used as part of a multi-modal approach to pain management and is administered in conjunction with physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, dietary supplementation and other pain medication. Acupuncture is a core component of traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating the body’s self-healing process and not only treating but also preventing numerous diseases. It also helps the body to produce and release endorphins (the feel-good hormone). Who can benefit from acupuncture? Acupuncture is most commonly used to relieve pain, which
