Acupuncture

How it works?

A tiny acupuncture needle is used to stimulate specific areas of the skin that are high in free nerve endings. The stimulation sends a message to the brain. The brain then tells the body to produce chemicals and hormones that encourage the body to heal itself.

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM):

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine is a medical system that has been used in China to treat animals for thousands of years.

The TCM practitioner views health as a state of harmony or balance existing between the internal environment of the body and the external environment it lives in. Unfavorable climactic conditions, stress, physical trauma, infectious organisms, poor nutrition, inappropriate exercise, heredity, and other pathogenic factors are capable of disrupting this state of harmony.
