Acupuncture promotes improved blood circulation, release of natural pain-killing substances like endorphins, and blocks the pain sensations to the affected areas of the body.

Skin diseases are among the most common problems in small animal clinical practice. In Acupuncture theory, health is considered to be a state of balance or equilibrium within the body. When balance is disturbed, the body becomes susceptible to external disease-causing factors or to internal deficiencies or excesses, all of which can lead to disease. (Veterinary Acupuncture, K.C.

Treatment of skin disease with acupuncture is usually supplemented by herbal medicine at the Woodside Pet Hospital for best results.
