Please request that your regular veterinarian and any specialists email the “diagnostic test results” to Dr. Haley at [email protected].
In order to achieve the best results with acupuncture therapy it is imperative that your pet have a comfortable and quiet atmosphere without disruptions. An enclosed small room that accommodates these recommendations is ideal. Other pets in the house should not be allowed to enter the room where the exam and acupuncture are to take place.
Dr. Haley will discuss your pet’s history and ask any additional questions prior to beginning the comprehensive physical exam. Once the exam is complete, Dr. Haley will discuss your pet’s diagnosis and the treatment plan. Based on the diagnosis Dr. Haley will decide on the type, duration and number of points used for the acupuncture treatment. Once you and your pet are comfortable Dr. Haley will begin placing acupuncture needles. Most pets do not mind the placement of the very small needles. In fact, most patients will either be resting very comfortably or even sleeping by the time the treatment is complete. Most treatments range from 10-30 minutes.
