## Gentle and effective pain relief

Acupuncture is an ancient, yet still highly regarded treatment in modern veterinary medicine that can provide significant relief in many painful conditions. Pets with osteoarthritis often benefit, as it helps ease pain, reduce inflammation and improve mobility.

Vet Satu Heng is trained in acupuncture and offers this gentle therapy to support your pet’s wellbeing. It’s important to us that your pet feels safe and calm during the visit.

### Benefits of acupuncture

-   Relieves chronic and acute pain 
-   Reduces muscle tension and trigger point pain 
-   Supports the treatment of osteoarthritis and spinal disease 
-   Improves circulation and tissue oxygenation 
-   Releases the body’s own pain-relieving endorphins 
-   Reduces stress and anxiety 
-   Complements medication – can enable dose reduction 

### A calm moment to aid recovery

Acupuncture sessions are carried out unhurriedly and gently. Most animals accept acupuncture calmly, and many clearly relax during treatment.

-   Osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain 
-   Back problems, intervertebral disc disease and spondylosis 
-   Myofascial pain and trigger points 
-   Post-operative rehabilitation and pain management 
-   Neuropathic pain and paresis 
-   Supporting quality of life in ageing pets 
-   Gastrointestinal functional disorders

### Safe and natural care

When performed by a skilled vet, acupuncture is a very safe therapy. It works well alongside medication and can often reduce the need for painkillers.
