Pet Acupuncture

Abbeyville Veterinary Hospital in Cork offers pet acupuncture for healing and pain relief, enhancing pet quality of life through ancient Chinese practice.

Understanding Pet Acupuncture

Pet acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. It can help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and release endorphins, which are natural painkillers. This therapy can be beneficial for a range of conditions, from chronic pain and arthritis to gastrointestinal issues and neurological disorders.
