WHAT WE DO

Person holding cat

We provide acupuncture services and wellness consultations for dogs and cats in Snohomish and surrounding areas.  Our clinic is located in historic downtown Snohomish but we also provide mobile house call services.

Dr. Cori may use standard acupuncture, electroacupuncture, or cold laser therapy to treat your pet.  

Feline patients may visit us at either the Snohomish location or the Bothell location (located inside Cat Clinic at Canyon Park).

HOW DOES IT WORK

Acupuncture is now a mainstream medical practice, although it originated in ancient China.  It is recognized by the WHO and the NIH as an effective treatment for many conditions in human medicine.  It works by re-balancing the body to prevent or treat disease, decrease pain and inflammation, and strengthen the immune system.  One way it does this is by altering blood flow and nerve transmission.  Most patients will respond and some respond dramatically, even after one treatment - although we recommend committing to several sessions for the best chance of success.  

WHAT WE TREAT

Acupuncture can help treat a variety of conditions in veterinary medicine.  We treat anxiety and other behavior problems, arthritis, spinal cord disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and feline bladder problems. 

The World Health Organization has published an analysis of the various diseases that can be treated with acupuncture. There are controlled trials supporting its use for the following conditions in humans:

  • Depression
  • Headache
  • Knee pain
  • Low back pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Neck pain
  • Dental pain
  • Postoperative pain
  • Sciatica
  • Sprains
  • Stroke......and many more.

These include abdominal pain, cancer pain, diabetes, osteoarthritis, itchy skin (pruritus), bladder stones, etc.
