Veterinary acupuncture is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that involves the stimulation of specific points on your pet’s body using fine, sterile needles. By stimulating the nervous system and surrounding tissues, acupuncture activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, helping to restore balance (homeostasis), relieve discomfort, and improve musculoskeletal and neurological function.
Acupuncture is most commonly used as a complementary therapy for:
- Osteoarthritis and other joint conditions
- Chronic pain management
- Spinal disorders and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- Neurological conditions
- Rehabilitation following orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures
- Reduced mobility and muscle tension
- Hormonal imbalances
- Respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders, both acute and chronic
- Pre- and post-operative support
- Emergency and critical care support
Before treatment begins, our veterinarians perform a thorough assessment of your pet’s health and develop an individualised treatment plan. The number of sessions required depends on the nature of the condition, its duration, and your pet’s response to therapy.
At Veterinary practice BUBA, we believe that exceptional veterinary care extends beyond diagnosis and medication. When pets experience chronic pain, mobility issues, prolonged recovery, or conditions that affect their overall well-being, acupuncture can play an important role in a comprehensive treatment plan. As a complementary therapy, it can help reduce discomfort, support recovery, and enhance your pet’s quality of life, allowing them to remain active, comfortable, and happy for longer.
