Providing your pet with the best possible care means considering all potential methods of treatment, including
alternative medicine.
We are proud to offer alternative medicine treatments such as laser therapy and acupuncture to manage various conditions affecting your dog or cat. These treatments may be used on their own or in conjunction with traditional medicine to manage your dog or cat’s symptoms and help them to live a happier, healthier life.
What is Acupuncture?
Dog and cat acupuncture refers to inserting thin needles into specific points on your pet’s body to promote healing. Acupuncture can benefit your pet in variety of ways such as:
- Stimulate blood flow
- Increase healing
- Reduce inflammation
- Alleviate pain
This form of treatment is a safe and effective way to manage a range of conditions and symptoms when it is performed by our board-certified acupuncturist. In addition to the benefits listed above, cat and dog acupuncture can supplement other forms of treatment to provide your pet with the highest quality of care in Wayne, NJ.
What is Laser Therapy?
Cat and dog laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive, and painless procedure to help control pain, chronic conditions, injuries, or recovery from surgery. It uses a low-level laser to stimulate healing within damaged soft tissues inside your pet’s body. This procedure is a great, low-stress treatment method that pets may even enjoy, as it produces a relaxing warm sensation. Multiple sessions may be necessary to see significant effects, but results may vary. Your veterinarian can determine the number of sessions your pet may require to manage symptoms and prevent them from reoccurring. Dog and cat laser therapy can help to:
- Decrease inflammation
- Encourage healing
- Reduce pain
- Improve circulation
Everyone present for the laser therapy treatment, including your dog or cat, must wear protective goggles.
