Acupuncture - The initial appointment is about 90 minutes long and involves a thorough history, physical exam, TCVM exam and assessment, and acupuncture treatment. Follow up appointments last 30-60 minutes.

Electroacupuncture - A method where small electrical pulses are generated at acupuncture points to increase the amount of beta-endorphins or serotonin to help treat specific conditions or provide longer pain relief. Depending on your pet's condition, this may or may not be done.

Aqua Acupuncture - A method where an injectable fluid (such as vitamin B12 or saline) is injected into an acupuncture point to provide long term stimulation at that specific point to help extend the therapeutic benefit. Similar to electroacupuncture, the use of aqua acupuncture depends on your pet's condition and their needs.
