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?

Pet acupuncture is a gentle, holistic therapy that involves placing fine, sterile needles at specific points on your pet’s body to stimulate healing. These points align with energy pathways, or meridians, believed to support the flow of vital energy (Qi). Stimulating them can help improve circulation, reduce pain, release natural endorphins, and promote nervous system balance.

Modern studies support that veterinary acupuncture works by engaging your pet’s natural biochemical and neurological responses—helping to regulate inflammation, relieve musculoskeletal discomfort, and support organ function.

What Conditions Can Veterinary Acupuncture Help Treat?

Pet acupuncture may be recommended for a variety of conditions, including:

Chronic pain and arthritis
Neurological issues (e.g., disc disease, paralysis)
Post-surgical recovery
Gastrointestinal problems (e.g., nausea, constipation)

Respiratory conditions
Skin issues and allergies
Anxiety and behavioral challenges
Mobility concerns, especially in senior pets

Because it’s minimally invasive and has few side effects, acupuncture is especially beneficial for
older pets or those who can’t tolerate medications.

What to Expect at a Pet Acupuncture Session

Your pet’s first visit will include a thorough physical exam and a detailed review of their health history. From there, our veterinarian will tailor a treatment plan based on your pet’s individual needs and condition.

Sessions typically last between 15–45 minutes. Many pets find the experience calming—some even fall asleep during treatment. Depending on the issue, you may notice results after just one session or see steady improvement with ongoing care.

Our goal is to make every appointment stress-free and healing—for both you and your pet.
