Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a gentle ancient practice which has been practiced for thousands of years on both people and animals.
It involves the use of fine needles, which are placed in or around ‘trigger points’ in the muscles as well as in specific acupuncture points, of which there are many!
The needles lead to increased blood flow the area, reduced inflammation and release of the body’s natural pain relief.
What can it be used for?
Pain is the most common reason for owners to seek acupuncture, but it can also be used for anxiety, allergies, and many other reasons!
Cost?
Each session costs £52.80. This can often be claimed for on insurance, so it’s always worth checking with your insurance company.
Each session lasts 30 minutes. We tend to do weekly sessions initially, tapering to monthly sessions as long-term maintenance, tailored to your pets’ individual needs.
