What is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Veterinary acupuncture is a safe, time-tested therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Using very fine needles placed at specific points on the body, acupuncture works by stimulating the body's natural healing response — reducing pain, improving circulation, and restoring balance.
Many pets find their sessions deeply relaxing. Some even nap right through their treatment. At Dwight Veterinary Clinic, acupuncture is offered as part of a well-rounded, individualized care plan, working alongside traditional veterinary medicine to support your pet's comfort, mobility, and long-term wellness.
