Veterinary Acupuncture in Eugene, OR
Integrative, Holistic Healing for Your Pet
At The Veterinary Hospital in Eugene, OR, we believe in treating the whole pet—not just their symptoms. That’s why we proudly offer veterinary acupuncture as part of our integrative approach to care. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), acupuncture provides a safe, effective, and drug-free therapy that supports healing, reduces pain, and improves quality of life for pets of all ages.
Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply needing additional support for their overall well-being, our experienced veterinarians are here to help through compassionate, individualized acupuncture treatment.
What Is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Acupuncture for pets involves the strategic placement of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing. These points correspond with meridians—pathways believed to carry energy (Qi) throughout the body. Stimulating these points can improve circulation, release endorphins, relieve pain, and balance the nervous system.
Modern research shows that veterinary acupuncture can help regulate inflammation, reduce musculoskeletal discomfort, and support organ function by influencing the body’s natural biochemical and neurological processes.
Conditions Treated with Acupuncture in Pets
Veterinary acupuncture can benefit pets with a wide variety of health issues, including:
- Chronic pain and arthritis
- Neurological conditions (e.g., intervertebral disc disease, paralysis)
- Post-operative recovery
- Gastrointestinal issues (e.g., nausea, diarrhea, constipation)
- Respiratory problems
- Skin conditions and allergies
- Anxiety and behavioral concerns
- Mobility challenges in senior pets
Because it is non-invasive and has minimal side effects, acupuncture is especially beneficial for senior pets, those with chronic diseases, or pets who cannot tolerate certain medications.
What to Expect During a Pet Acupuncture Session
During your pet’s first acupuncture visit, our trained veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam and review your pet’s medical history. Based on your pet’s condition and individual needs, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan.
Each session typically lasts 15–45 minutes, depending on your pet’s tolerance and response. Most pets relax or even fall asleep during treatment. Some may show improvement after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments for lasting results.
We’re committed to making the experience as calming and positive as possible—for both you and your pet.
