This initial session also includes treatments as time allows, which may include any of the services listed above (including acupuncture) that will best address your pet's condition (manual therapies, exercises on equipment, laser therapy, etc). You will also be given a home exercise plan to begin at home, guidance with diet, home modification suggestions, and supplement recommendations.

Follow-up rehab sessions will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the pet and condition. 

 

Acupuncture Appointments

 

Initial acupuncture sessions last 1 hour and include a complete physical exam and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine assessment. Types of acupuncture may include dry needling (most common), but electroacupuncture and aqua-acupuncture (Vitamin B12 injections into acupuncture points) may be offered if indicated.

Dr. Staple has access to consult an herbal specialist through the Chi Institute for more complicated cases to ensure any herbs recommended are safe to give with multiple medical conditions and medications.
