Are you wondering if Acupuncture and TCVM might be a good option for your pet?
Acupuncture and TCVM are excellent complementary services to western veterinary medicine. These traditions have been used for thousands of years and can often provide pain relief and healing with fewer side effects than prescription medication.
Acupuncture and TCVM can benefit all life stages (juvenile, adult, and senior) and a variety of conditions. Determining and resolving the underlying reasons illness are occurring is one of the aspects of TCVM’s approach that can reduce the cumulative effect of chronic illness.
