This beautiful girl has been visiting me for over a year for acupuncture to ease discomfort in her neck, shoulders and back. The acupuncture has really helped make her more comfortable. Last week we changed things up and she had some TENS prior to acupuncture, an exciting modality I want to add into my clinics. We were not sure how she would react as she often is quite chatty and let’s vets know when she is not happy but the TENs went really well, she sat just having cuddles and relaxed 🧡😻

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) involves the passage of electrical currents across the skin to stimulate the nerves and pain relief for acute pain, chronic pain and palliative care.

Interestingly the Egyptians applied electrogenic fish 🐠 to painful body parts and the Romans used electrical torpedo fish 🐟 for gout and headache pain! So the use of electricity like acupuncture has been around a while 🐾💜💚

HYDROTHERAPY POST! 💦🐶🐾

I took Kiera for a fun and fitness swim last week to Bluestone Hydrotherapy. Nicky was wonderful with Kiera as always and she had the best time. Once dried off she tried to leap back in a testament to how much she enjoys her sessions 🥰
I love hydrotherapy as a vet and dog owner.

Hydrotherapy uses the properties of water to achieve therapeutic effects such as
🐾 pain relief
🐾 muscle relaxation
🐾 aiding partial or non-weight bearing exercise in rehab
🐾 gait remodelling
🐾 increasing joint range of movement
🐾 improving balance, proprioception, coordination
🐾 improving core strength and fitness

So in a nutshell it can be used for so many cases, either pool or treadmill at the hydrotherapists recommendation:
🐾Post surgical rehabilitation for surgeries such as Cruciate ligament, IVVD surgery fracture
🐾 Pain relief for Osteoarthitis, myofascial pain and injury
🐾Neurological disease e.g. degenerative myelopathy
🐾 Weight loss
🐾 Fitness, stamina and conditioning

It is super to see Kiera loving it now, helping with her fitness, hopefully keeping her strong to avoid injury and if she does need it later in life for pain relief or rehab she will be familiar with it and not a frightened older dog learning new tricks 🐶🐾💜💚

So thrilled to receive this feedback from Darcy's owners. Thank you so much it means the world☺️

"When our 13 year old greyhound, Darcy, started to show her age we decided to try acupuncture to see if it could relieve her discomfort. We were a little unsure how she would cope as she can be nervous, especially at the vets, and she doesn’t like to be handled by strangers. We are so happy that we found Pet Acupuncture Wiltshire. The home-like setting is relaxing and calm, complete with comfy sofa, classical music and Pet Remedy spray. Lu has been amazing with Darcy, patiently taking the time to get to know her, and win her over with tasty treats! Although initially quite worried, Darcy has become more confident with each visit and now greets Lu with a waggy tail. She even settles on the bed once her needles are in, something we never thought she’d be comfortable enough to do. The acupuncture sessions have really helped with her pain and stiffness, much improving her quality of life. We are very grateful to Lu and highly recommend PAW." 🐶🐾💜💚

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Wow it has been a whole year since I launched Pet Acupuncture Wiltshire! It has been a really busy year, juggling building my dream, working in general practice part-time, evening and weekend remote telemedicine and of course my little family! It has been the greatest pleasure to help my fabulous patients manage their pain with Acupuncture. I have met wonderful pets, fantastic owners and I cannot wait to continue to treat them and meet new cases. The future looks bright after my recent course and I cannot wait to integrate more treatment modalities and expand my business. Thank you to all of those who have helped and visited, to the wonderful referring vets, local therapists, especially Bluestone Hydrotherapy and Tails Therapy - Animal & Human Rehabilitation for your recommendations and teamwork. Together we can all make a huge difference to help look after our special 4 legged friends and manage their pain so they can enjoy each day with us. Thank you of course to to my wonderful family for their unwavering support and to Helen for my awsome first birthday collage hanging pride of place in my treatment room. 🐾🐶🐱🐰💚💜🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This sweet girl Mali is such a good girl for her acupuncture. Her lovely Mum has sent me this review to share. I am thrilled to have helped this gorgeous girl. Thank you so much🥰🐾💚💜

"We thought we had lost our darling Mali last year but, 12 months later she is still here and it feels miraculous. She is 14½ and prefers shorter walks nowadays, but her regular acupuncture sessions with Lucinda have quite literally given her a new lease on life. She comes away from her sessions completely relaxed and chilled. She sleeps well that night and then she is ready to embrace life again the next morning. It is beyond thrilling to be woken by a nudge from a wet nose and see her smiling face (yes, she really does smile) and her wagging tail. Of course acupuncture isn't going to turn back the clock - but it seems to have slowed down the aging process somewhat and brought back Mali's enjoyment and delight in life. We are so grateful."

I love this boy Puffin. His owner has been very kind and left me this review 🐶🐾💙

"Amazing results from Pet Acupuncture Wiltshire. Regular acupuncture treatment has made a noticeable positive difference to my dog Puffin’s mobility and quality of life. Puffin is a 15 year old large cross breed with various age related conditions like spondylosis, arthritis and minor disc extrusions. His general mobility has improved and stiffness reduced through acupuncture treatments with Lu. He can still enjoy a tail chase and little canter on walks due to the pain relief and relaxation given by the treatment. Lu is fabulous and puts Puffin completely at ease, he is very nervous at the vets but with Lu at PAW, he is calm and happily lies down for a snooze with the needles in. Can’t thank Lu enough and wholeheartedly recommend PAW for acupuncture for pets".

Wow I’m buzzing with excitement… Kiera and I have been away for 4 days on the most awesome Practical Canine Rehabilitation Course… learning so much about wound healing, inflammation, gait analysis and Prehab and Rehab strategies for pain… massage, TENS, thermotherapy, therapeutic exercises, laser, ultrasound, shockwave, hydrotherapy, LED therapy… I can’t wait to start integrating more of this into my work seeing how much it can benefit our veterinary patients. The lecturer and her assistant were amazing! 🤩 Fully inspired and also super proud of Kiera for being an excellent companion and demo patient 🐶💕🐾💖 I can’t wait to share with you all… ###

Some pretty chilled pooches recently in our calming home from home treatment space … just love it when my patients relax, enjoy the ‘Pet Remedy’ and classical music and let the needles help their pain and discomfort 🎻🐶💤💜💚

Love this cheeky girl... she was a bit worried on her first visit but grew more relaxed each week 🤩, settling with her needles and waiting for her rewards... 😅 food bribery and friendship go hand in paw 🐾 just look at those big eyes and ears, how can you refuse?! 💚💜

Thrilled to bits to receive this review from one of my lovely clients. This little lady was a wonderful patient and it is so great to hear of her progress💚💜

I contacted Lucinda after my 15 year old terrier started to experience pain, numbness on her back feet and was struggling to walk. Lucinda communicated the process really well, explained how it would work with my pet insurance and the cost.
The room we were in for acupuncture was very calm and relaxing for me and my dog (she also let me bring in 2 dogs I was looking after at the time as well)
My dog was very calm throughout every session and the improvement I have seen after 4 sessions has been amazing!
My dog walks easier now, her movement has improved and she is happier to be handled and touched again without feeling uncomfortable. I am so grateful to see changes and improvement in my dog so she can enjoy life again and being out on her little walks. Thank you!

Kiera and I had an amazing time at Bluestone Hydrotherapy on friday for a Fun & Fitness Swim with the lovely Nicki 💗 It was Kiera's first time in the pool and she was a total water baby. Nicki made us so welcome, asked for lots of information to get to know Kiera and make her feel at ease and motivate her. It is safe to say it was a total success. She did not want to get out!

If you have not heard of hydrotherapy it is a recognised form of rehabilitation that uses the properties of water to rehabilitate and improve function, mobility, fitness and wellbeing. There are so many indications: puppy swims, fun & fitness swims, for dogs recovering from an injury, condition or post-surgery and for those with joint dysplasia and arthritis.

As a vet I always recommend hydrotherapy to any suitable patients and cannot recommend Bluestone in Amesbury highly enough! We cannot wait until next time 💦🐶🐾💙

I cannot believe it's been just over 6 months since my first patients visited and I am really thrilled to be getting busier in December 🎄- I am so grateful for all of your support, thank you 😘
I have loved every appointment getting to know each patient, their owner and hoping to make a difference easing their pain. Just a few of my gorgeous visitors this week who relaxed with their needles in in the home from home environment here at PAW 🐶🐱🐾💚💜
