Wags Animal Hospital in Brickell Key, FL, announces the addition of acupuncture therapy and Chinese herbal treatments for cats and dogs. Using advanced Western diagnostic tools to identify and treat acute and chronic health conditions, this veterinary practice now offers holistic therapies to bring relief to a range of symptoms for its patients. Dr. Ori Eizenberg Weinger, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Wags Animal Hospital and a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, provides these integrative therapies in the Miami area.

Acupuncture therapy provides additional treatment options for pet health. In its simplest form, acupuncture uses a system of points laid on pathways called meridians. Once stimulated, and depending on the point, the benefit results in pain relief, nerve stimulation, immunity regulation, and bringing the patient back to a balanced state called homeostasis. From physical pain to gastrointestinal issues, acupuncture can safely be used for any condition resulting in imbalance for the patient.

Acupuncture methods available at Wags Animal Hospital include dry needling, aquapuncture and electroacupuncture. Advanced diagnostics such as X-rays and comprehensive blood work identify a pet’s health conditions. Acupuncture therapy is used in conjunction with traditional Western medical treatments for the best health outcomes and quality of life. These techniques are particularly beneficial for older pets, providing arthritis relief, boosting energy levels and supporting immune health. Each session is conducted in a calm environment, with extended appointment times to ensure that dogs and cats remain comfortable and relaxed throughout their visit.

Chinese herbs are also used to enhance treatment outcomes. Used for thousands of years and known for their safety, these herbs present minimal side effects, making them a gentle option for pet health. Chinese herbs work synergistically with acupuncture to enhance the effect of treatment.

“Acupuncture therapy and Chinese herbs provide a safe, effective alternative to support pets with chronic and acute conditions. By combining this with Western diagnostics, we can provide a well-rounded approach to pet care. Doctors have a myriad of tools in their box when treating their patients. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are just another set of tools doctors can use to better their patients. ” – Dr. Ori Eizenberg Weinger, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Wags Animal Hospital.
