My patient Hudson receives electrostimulation acupuncture for arthritis pain relief
Are you aware that pets develop age-related conditions that can affect their overall quality of life just like people?
Arthritis is one of the most-common ailments we veterinarians diagnose in our canine and feline patients. Arthritis can limit a pet's comfort, joint range of motion, and mobility and can even cause clinical signs like lethargy, decreased appetite, behavior changes, and others.
