Arthritis
Arthritis is a painful and gradually progressive disease of the joints. On-going inflammation and joint damage eventually result in significant pain, lameness, and progressive loss of joint function and mobility.
Many middle-aged and senior dogs and cats that seem to be “slowing down” or “feeling their age” are affected by arthritis pain. This can often be alleviated or significantly decreased with acupuncture, which is also the safest option we have for treating this disease.
