Glasslyn Vets are now offering TCVM (traditional chinese medicine) Acupuncture in our Macroom, Kinsale and Bandon clinic.

Acupuncture is a well-respected treatment in the veterinary medicine and has been used for centuries. It can be a great complementary therapy for a variety of conditions. Here are some key benefits:

Pain Relief – Especially for arthritis, hip dysplasia, or post-surgery recovery.

Improved Mobility – Helps older pets or those with joint issues move more comfortably.

Reduces Inflammation – Useful for conditions like allergies, skin issues, and chronic pain. It helps balance the body’s natural healing response.

Digestive Support – Can help with nausea, vomiting, or chronic gut issues like IBD.

Stress & Anxiety Reduction – Especially helpful for nervous pets (think storm-fearing dogs or anxious rescue animals).

Neurological Support – Aids in recovery from nerve injuries, paralysis, or seizures by improving blood flow and nerve function.

Most pets tolerate acupuncture surprisingly well—many even enjoy it! Treatments are typically quick, painless, and relaxing.
