Pet Acupuncture in Castle Rock, CO at Brekke Veterinary Clinic

Acupuncture can be a beneficial component of your pet's treatment. It can provide support to other treatments such as surgery, medication and special diet or exercise regimens. Some pets in particular face obstacles when it comes to medicines- either they have an allergy to a specific medication, or they are simply too old or weak for their systems to safely handle such medications. In these instances, acupuncture's ability to provide natural pain relief and medical support make it positively invaluable. Acupuncture may not make sense for every animal, but our trained and experienced veterinarians will help create a treatment plan specific to your pet that will focus on making sure your pet gets the healing care and/or pain relief that they need. Their treatment plan may include a referral for acupuncture to best support your pet and meet their health care needs.

Benefits of Pet Acupuncture

These changes can have a direct impact on your pet's healing processes and ability to battle symptoms such as chronic pain. By manipulating different combinations of acupuncture points, we can use this healing modality to treat such diverse conditions as:

Soft tissue pain
Degenerative joint conditions (arthritis, etc.)
Organ diseases and disorders
Eye diseases
Auto-immune dysfunction
Acute pain, injury and inflammation
Edema
Neurological disorders
Reproductive problems

Amputation after cancer growth

Unfortunately, cancer doesn’t only affect humans. It is perfectly possible for your pet to develop cancerous cells in any part of her body, including in her limbs. Exactly which type of cancer this will be will depend on the origin of the cancerous cells but could include soft tissue or bone cancers. If conventional treatment such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery is unsuccessful, we may recommend that the cancer is removed entirely, and this may mean amputating the affected limb.

Acupuncture isn't necessarily the only treatment your pet needs, but it can provide essential support to other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, medication and special diet or exercise regimens. Some pets in particular face obstacles when it comes to medicines -- either they have an allergy to a specific medication, or they are simply too old or weak for their systems to safely handle such medications. In these instances, acupuncture's ability to provide natural pain relief and medical support makes it positively invaluable.

If the thought of having multiple needles stuck into your pet makes you anxious, you can rest assured that your beloved companion has nothing to fear (and everything to gain) from our acupuncture service. The needles are so thin that they don't cause any damage, and once they're all in place, your pet may be so relaxed that he even falls asleep. Some pets experience instant relief from their condition, but more typically we need to administer several treatment sessions.

Acupuncture doesn't necessarily make sense for every animal. To find out whether your pet can benefit from it, call 303-474-4260 for an appointment with our Castle Rock veterinarian. We will make sure your pet gets the healing care and/or safe pain relief he needs!
