As we continue to grow, we are continually looking for ways to more comprehensively serve your needs. As part of those efforts, Dr. Davidson has been traveling back and forth to the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida, and she is now able to offer small animal veterinary acupuncture.
Acupuncture is the placement of fine needles at specific locations on the body known as acupoints. Specific combinations of acupoints can relieve obstructions and can also have influence over specific body parts or internal organs. Acupoint combinations, also known as point prescriptions, are tailored to the specific imbalance of each patient.
Acupuncture can be effective in the following areas:
- Musculoskeletal Problems (soreness, back pain, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease)
- Neurological Disorders (seizures, inter-vertebral disc disease, facial and radial nerve paralysis, etc.)
- Gastrointestinal Disorders (diarrhea, gastric ulcers, colic, vomiting, constipation and impactions)
- Other Chronic Conditions (asthma, cough, renal failure, liver disease, behavioral problems, hypo and hyperthyroidism, skin problems, etc.)
- Quality of Life & Hospice Care
