Dan Farmer Veterinary Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method of treating disease and pain which was brought into the 1800s, with much greater acceptance from the 1970s onwards. Whilst acupuncture is a huge complex subject, in the simplest terms, it's use will not only reduce the sensations of pain, but will also help you to feel better about any pain you do feel, thus reducing the suffering that pain can cause. It can be used for acute pain but is generally used to manage chronic pain.  

It is important to use acupuncture in addition to other disease modifying and alleviating tools. Needling painful muscles and skin will tend to make things worse in chronic pain. Dan has an interest in managing chronic pain and is happy to talk with you about your pet to see if he can help.
