others after exercise, and others when it is damp and rainy outside. Each of these represents a different pattern, and different patients will have different combinations of patterns that can be addressed by creating a personalized herbal formula or using time- tested Chinese herbal formulations.
Acupuncture for Pain Finally, acupuncture has an excellent
track record for alleviating arthritic pain, both in the literature and in clinical practice. This ancient art involves the placement of very thin, atraumatic needles in specifi c locations around the body. It can have profound effects on pain, muscle spasm, local blood fl ow, and healing. Often patients start off with weekly treatments for a month and then taper to monthly treatments for arthritis, though proto- cols can vary. Many animals really relax and seem to enjoy their acupuncture treatments.
In summary, there are many excellent
ways to marshal the body’s resources and help the muscles and metabolism harmonize to improve comfort and regain some of the mobility and joyfulness of natural movement that is affected by arthritis. Fortunately for our pets, there are more and more veterinarians who specialize in these holistic options and can provide holistic options for arthritic complaints and prevention.
