At to Dongan Hills Veterinary Practice & Integrative Wellness Center, where our experienced veterinary team offers acupuncture to support your pet’s comfort and quality of life.
Acupuncture is a safe, minimally invasive therapy that uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on your pet’s body, encouraging natural healing and pain relief. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, veterinary acupuncture can help manage chronic pain, arthritis, neurological issues, and even support recovery from surgery or injury.
At Dongan Hills Veterinary Practice & Integrative Wellness Center, our veterinarians use acupuncture as part of a comprehensive, integrative approach to animal wellness. This gentle therapy can improve mobility, decrease inflammation, and enhance your pet’s overall well-being. Acupuncture is suitable for both dogs and cats, with many pets relaxing deeply during their sessions. Our team will tailor each treatment plan to your pet’s unique needs, ensuring comfort and safety at every step. By combining acupuncture with conventional veterinary care, we help pets in Staten Island and surrounding communities achieve optimal health.
Our veterinary acupuncture process in Staten Island is designed to be comfortable and stress-free for both pets and their owners.
Our veterinary team begins with a thorough physical exam and a detailed discussion of your pet’s health history and symptoms. We assess your pet’s mobility, pain levels, and any chronic or acute conditions to determine if acupuncture is appropriate.
Every pet receives a customized acupuncture plan. Our veterinarians, including Dr. Brown, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, select acupuncture points based on your pet’s specific needs and medical conditions, ensuring a targeted and effective approach.
During the session, very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into selected points. Most pets tolerate this extremely well; many even relax or fall asleep as the treatment progresses. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.
After each session, our veterinary professionals discuss your pet’s response and make adjustments as needed. We may recommend additional integrative therapies such as laser therapy or herbal medicine to maximize results for your pet.
Acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free approach to managing pain, promoting healing, and improving quality of life for pets with chronic or acute conditions. Many families choose acupuncture to reduce reliance on medications or as an adjunct to traditional treatment.
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body, easing discomfort from arthritis, injuries, or nerve conditions without side effects from pharmaceuticals.
By reducing inflammation and promoting circulation, acupuncture helps pets regain movement and strength, especially those struggling with joint disease or recovering from surgery.
Regular acupuncture supports your pet’s immune system, reduces stress, and can help with digestive problems, skin conditions, and more, contributing to better long-term health.
