A Veterinarian Helping Animals with Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used widely as a treatment for pain in human beings but what is interesting is that this treatment is being used for animals as well with satisfactory results.

NEW YORK, NY (prHWY.com) April 4, 2012 - Acupuncture benefits have been acknowledged widely when this form of treatment is given to human beings. Using this alternative treatment is very popular when treating human beings but what is interesting is that this treatment is being used for animals as well with satisfactory results.

Dr. Jeffrey Levy is one of the veterinarians who find joy in treating animals through acupuncture. In his clinic, based in New York, he has treated various types of animals such as dogs, cats, and birds.

After graduating from the vet school, Dr. Levy concentrated on acupuncture since this field of alternative medication was of great interest to him. He believes that he can help animals greatly by implementing the holistic approach of healing which acupuncture is based on. He confirms that acupuncture is an efficient painkiller since it works on the neurotransmitters, unlike what pharmaceuticals do.

The demands on such holistic cures for pets are increasing every year. The Chinese acupuncture and herbs are becoming so popular to the extent that Dr. Levy has seen an increase in demand by 20% in the last year alone.
A veterinarian that is well referred usually works with up to eight visitors each day. Each treatment costs around $200, including the examination. The treatment is tailored to the pet's specific need.

Levy says that the owners of the pets are well read and know what they can expect from this kind of treatment. They are not skeptical and have good faith that their pet will get the appropriate treatment at the clinic. The rising demand for Chinese medications, which entails sticking needles in specific areas of the body, is realized by others in the same profession. By sticking the acupuncture needles the energy is directed from one area to another thus increasing the blood flow where needed.

Some people do not believe in acupuncture for treating their pets. But once trying one kind of holistic treatments they have a change in heart. One dog owner believed that it is just a strange idea to have her dog treated by needles. A friend of her suggested that she puts her dog on raw diet. She did and when she saw improvement she decided to give acupuncture a try. The dog moved better after the first treatment. It took however some additional treatment sessions to have the dog running and playing again as usual.

In fact this approach of mixing acupuncture with other forms of medication has been extensively used for both humans and animals. It works remarkably well when the subject is given a herbal treatment along with acupuncture. These subjects felt better and recovery was quicker than going through one kind of treatment.

Acupuncture has gone a long way for curing humans and now this same form of treatment is being implemented for animals, mainly dogs and cats. This form of treatment has been practiced for more than 3000 years benefiting a lot of patients of many pains and sicknesses. The Western world is picking up in its acknowledgement of this form of treatment and hopefully within the next couple of years we will see more clinics like Dr. Levy's clinic, where animals can be treated naturally.

Acupuncture is an ancient science with a huge curing effect. If you are interested in this kind of treatment and would like to have more information about this type of treatment then check us out at: http://acupuncture-benefits.net/
