Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy used to support healing, relieve pain, and restore balance. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), it’s believed that vital energy flows through channels in the body. When this flow is disrupted, illness or discomfort can occur.
By placing very fine needles at specific points, acupuncture helps rebalance this energy and activate the body’s natural ability to heal. Each treatment is tailored to your pet’s unique needs and temperament, making it a safe and effective option for many conditions.
Chinese Herbal Therapy
Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural balance and healing. Specific combinations of herbs are selected based on your pet’s individual pattern diagnosis and prescribed in easy-to-give forms such as pills, powders, or treats. These formulas work gently over time to restore harmony and improve overall health.
Chinese Food Therapy
In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, food is used as medicine—carefully selected based on qualities like temperature, flavor, and cooking method to help correct energetic imbalances.
Recommendations may include choosing a commercial diet with supportive ingredients, adding cooked foods to your pet’s current meals, or preparing fully home-cooked diets.
Tui-na Acupressure Massage
Tui-na is a hands-on therapy from Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine that uses gentle massage and acupressure techniques to support healing, ease pain, improve circulation, and restore energetic balance.
It’s especially helpful for pets who may be sensitive to needles and can be used on its own or alongside acupuncture. Some techniques are simple enough to be taught for use at home, offering a way for caregivers to support their pet’s healing between visits.
