One of the most well-known forms of alternative medicine, acupuncture entails inserting fine needles into specific points on the dog’s body to stimulate healing. This practice is based on traditional Chinese medicine and aims to promote balance and enhance the flow of energy, or Qi, throughout the body. For dogs suffering from chronic pain, arthritis, or even behavioral issues, acupuncture can offer significant relief without the side effects often associated with conventional medications. Many pet owners report improvements in mobility, reduction in pain, and overall better quality of life for their furry companions after just a few sessions.
