Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center opened its doors to pets and their owners with a focus on holistic care, particularly veterinary acupuncture. Our veterinarians are certified in this field and have been successfully treating pets for decades.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique that has been practiced for over 3,000 years. It helps increase blood and lymphatic flow to tissues, stimulates proper nerve function, and enhances the body’s ability to release natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Conditions Treated with Acupuncture
We use acupuncture to treat a wide range of diseases and ailments. These include orthopedic and neurological diseases, immune system disorders, and systemic issues like kidney, liver, and bladder problems.
Does It Hurt?
A common question is whether acupuncture hurts. At Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center, we use a state-of-the-art laser unit for our treatments. We prefer laser acupuncture over traditional needle methods, as it is more effective and painless. So, no, it doesn’t hurt!
