Animals come into our lives as gifts from God, for companionship, to teach us, and to heal us. They deserve our very best efforts in caring for them.

Aqua Acupuncture Visit with Dr. Peace

On Monday May 3rd, Brady went for an Aqua Acupuncture Session with Dr. Peace. Vitamin B-12, which is very calming, was injected into various acupuncture points and fortunately she was able to get many points done. He was a very good boy and the session went extremely well. We look forward to our session next week.

Aqua-acupuncture or aquapuncture is the injection of a liquid, typically
Vitamin B-12, Adequan (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan or PSGAG), normal
saline or homeopathic remedies, into acupuncture points. The purpose of the
liquid is to put pressure on the acupuncture point, similar to the way an
acupuncture needle is used. One of the main benefits to aquapuncture is the
continuous stimulation or sedation of the point for several days. In
general, practitioners will use aqua-acupuncture in conjunction with
acupuncture on one to a few specific points that require prolonged
stimulation.
