What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a deep, internal therapy that works by inserting tiny needles into various identified points on your dog's body.
It originated over 3,000 years ago as part of a holistic healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese medicine holds that all animals (and humans) have a "life force" called qi that moves through the body through pathways called meridians. Specific points on these meridians that are located close to the surface of the body, then, can be accessed via small needles or lasers to re-establish balance in the movement of the qi.
Here we will bring you a wide variety of information and resources for dog acupuncture. So enjoy! And here's to your health!
