Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Services
At Parkway Animal Hospital, we are happy to provide holistic and integrative care to support pets' recovery, mobility, and overall well-being.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture helps balance energy flow (Qi), reduce pain, improve circulation, and support the nervous system. It’s commonly used for conditions like arthritis, neurological disorders, and post-operative recovery.
Rehabilitation services include things such as therapeutic exercises, passive range of motion, massage, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and Class IV Laser therapy. Class IV therapeutic lasers use light energy to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and providing effective pain relief. This non-invasive modality is especially beneficial for managing chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical healing.

-
Pain relief and reduced inflammation
-
Accelerated recovery from injury or surgery

-
Enhanced quality of life for senior or chronically ill pets
-
