Acupuncture is commonly used to treat a wide range of conditions in animals, including musculoskeletal pain such as arthritis or ligament tear injuries, digestive issues, respiratory problems, metabolic diseases such as kidney disease, and neurological disorders such as intervertebral disc disease. It can also speed up the healing time and decrease pain and inflammation after surgery. Additionally, it can support the immune system and promote overall wellness. Acupuncture is generally well-tolerated by animals and is a safe and effective alternative to pharmaceuticals in many cases.
