Human Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.


Equine Acupuncture

The idea of using needles to influence energy meridians within the body is more acceptable when horse owners observe their horses before and after an acupuncture treatment. Odd as it may look, acupuncture does relieve pain, anxiety, muscle soreness, and other sources of discomfort in horses. It can also be used to treat such widely divergent maladies as diarrhea, undescended testicles, contracted tendons, and laryngeal hemiplegia

Dog/Cat Acupuncture

You &Yours Chiropractic Care uses laser acupuncture for our smaller animal friends. Using laser energy stimulates acupuncture points. This "hot" topic in veterinary physical rehabilitation is actually very "cool," as most lasers don’t generate significant heat that burns hair or skin. Lasers are great for providing "needle-less" acupuncture treatments especially on patients that don’t readily tolerate needle insertion.
