Pet Holistic Medicine

Pet Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. It usually involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to cause a therapeutic effect. Acupuncture may include other methods such as aquapuncture, in which fluid is injected into the acupuncture point, or electro-acupuncture, in which a small current of electricity is passed between acupuncture needles.

Acupuncture can provide pain relief, promote tissue healing processes, regulate gastrointestinal motility, decrease inflammation, reduce fevers, and help regulate the immune system.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Jung, who in 2011 received her veterinary medicine degree from the University of Minnesota. She then went to Chi University in Florida and became a certified veterinary acupuncturist and food therapist in addition to being a veterinarian.

Pet Food Therapy

Diet is used in food therapy to treat and prevent bodily imbalances. A skilled practitioner can formulate a balanced diet that is customized to meet the needs of each patient. The foods will be selected based on their energetic and thermodynamic characteristics. This is regarded as a long-term treatment option for animals and is beneficial for a variety of ailments, particularly digestive issues and allergies.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Jung, a veterinarian from Minnesota who practices a holistic approach to pet care and treats her patients with both conventional medication and techniques like acupuncture and nutrition, at Cityscape Vets on Excelsior. She emphasizes maintaining open lines of communication with people around her and thinks that expertise and good client service are essential to providing outstanding veterinary care. She places a high value on creature comfort and works hard to provide pets with the finest possible care in a kind, caring manner.
