Pet Acupuncture & Veterinary Alternative Medicine in Eagle River, Alaska
Gentle, holistic healing tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
Integrative Wellness Through Alternative Medicine
At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, we understand that every pet is unique—and so is their path to healing. That’s why we proudly offer acupuncture and veterinary alternative medicine as part of our integrative care approach. Whether your pet is recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply aging gracefully, acupuncture can be a safe and effective solution to support their health and well-being.
Led by certified Veterinary Acupuncturist Dr. Brooke Wilson, our acupuncture services are rooted in medical expertise and a deep commitment to holistic, compassionate care for every pet we treat.
What Is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing. This ancient technique has been adapted into modern veterinary medicine and is used to address a variety of conditions—especially those involving pain, inflammation, or neurological dysfunction.
At Ravenwood, acupuncture is part of our veterinary alternative medicine offerings, which also include massage therapy, herbal supplements, and integrative wellness strategies. Every treatment plan is tailored to your pet’s needs based on their medical history, physical condition, and recovery goals.
How Acupuncture Works for Pets
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s nervous system, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals. It’s especially effective for:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Neurological disorders (e.g., intervertebral disc disease)
- Post-operative recovery
- Chronic conditions (e.g., kidney or liver disease)
- Mobility challenges in senior pets
- Muscle soreness or stiffness
Each session begins with a comprehensive examination by Dr. Wilson, who is not only a certified Veterinary Acupuncturist through the Chi Institute, but also trained in massage therapy via Equissage. Treatments are conducted in a calm, pet-friendly environment and are typically scheduled every other Thursday.
Why Choose Acupuncture Services?
Pet owners often seek out veterinary alternative medicine when traditional treatments aren’t providing full relief—or when they’re looking to avoid more invasive solutions. Acupuncture offers a gentle, drug-free method to promote healing, manage pain, and improve overall quality of life.
For many pets, integrating acupuncture with conventional veterinary care has been a game-changer. It’s not just about treating symptoms—it’s about supporting long-term wellness and helping your pet live a more comfortable, active life.
