Promoting Natural Healing & Comfort for Your Companion
At Radnor Veterinary Hospital, we offer pet acupuncture as part of our integrative approach to veterinary care. Acupuncture is a gentle, minimally invasive therapy that can support pets’ overall well-being, relieve discomfort, and enhance quality of life—especially when used alongside conventional medical care.
What Is Acupuncture for Pets?
Acupuncture involves the careful placement of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body. These points are connected to nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. When stimulated, they can help support the body’s natural healing processes by enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the release of the body’s own calming and pain-modulating chemicals.
Conditions That May Benefit From Acupuncture
Our veterinary acupuncture treatments may help pets experiencing:
- Chronic pain and inflammation (such as arthritis or hip dysplasia)
- Neuromuscular and orthopedic issues
- Post-surgical rehabilitation and injury recovery
- Mobility challenges / decreased range of motion
- Supportive care for chronic conditions
By collaborating with your primary veterinarian, we tailor acupuncture plans to each pet’s needs so that this therapy complements their overall treatment plan.
Why Choose Acupuncture for Your Pet?
- Non-drug, low-stress therapy — Acupuncture offers a way to support comfort without medication.
- Improved circulation and healing — Targeted points help stimulate blood flow and cellular repair.
- Enhanced quality of life — Many pets experience increased comfort, ease of movement, and reduced stiffness.
What to Expect
Acupuncture sessions are typically calm and relaxing for most pets. Our trained veterinary professionals ensure your companion’s safety and comfort throughout the process, and we will explain what to expect at each visit. Sessions may be scheduled individually or as a course of treatments depending on your pet’s condition and response.
