Looking for gentle, effective relief for your pet? Acupuncture and Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (think chiropractic adjustments for pets) offers a safe, proven approach to managing pain and promoting healing. At Mercy Pet Hospital, we combine these time-tested treatments with modern veterinary medicine to help your pet feel their best. This gentle therapy uses ultra-thin needles placed at specific points along your pet’s body to:
- Enhance blood flow and nerve function
- Release natural pain-relieving compounds
- Reduce inflammation
- Promote natural healing
- Relax tense muscles
Acupuncture and VSMT can help with a wide range of conditions:
- Arthritis and chronic pain
- Back and neck problems
- Muscle injuries and soreness
- Post-surgery recovery
- Digestive issues
- Skin conditions
- Immune system support
- Disk disease
In addition to the benefits of acupuncture, Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VMST) can also:
- Improve mobility and function
- Enhance athletic performance
- Prevent injuries in healthy dogs
- Improve quality of life
Many pets show improvement after their first session, though chronic conditions usually benefit from a series of treatments.
