Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been a staple in Asian medicine for over 4,000 years. Obviously it works! It is difficult to understand how acupuncture works based on charts and other available information, but I have been having regular treatments on my hip and lower back for more than 5 years. I feel like acupuncture, along with my exercises, has postponed hip surgery thus far.
The latest scientific studies have shown that acupuncture enhances production of the neurotransmitter adenosine by as much as 24 times, inhibiting pain transmission at the spinal cord level.
Our acupuncturist, Gordon Cohen, LAC, has produced many miraculous results with weekly and bi-weekly treatment of dogs and cats with conditions such as hip dysplasia, disc disease and posterior paresis (weakness).

Here is a client testimony:
| May 13, 2009
To Dr. Walters, Dr. Hansson, Mr. Cohen and the staff, We wish to thank you for giving us back our little bundle of licks, barks, cuddles, rolls, runs and nibbles -- none of which he was able to do when he was brought in after being injured while we were out! He has gone from being paralyzed from the waist down to more active than I can recall ever seeing him in his 13 years of life! When all else failed and I was asked to consider acupuncture, I was somewhat skeptical, but also desperate to fix this great little yorkie, so we went to meet Mr. Cohen on a Wednesday. Bugsy had his first treatment and Thursday when I sat his food down, prepared to hold and feed him again, I realized he had just walked up behind me! Wow! By the following week he was not only healed from the current injury, but was actually walking better than he ever had! He had always had difficulty with the luxation of both hind knees, but that too was also greatly improved! So we want to thank you for giving life back to Bugsy and immense joy to us! Thank you! Betty P. Jones, R.N., B.S.N. Edward Ladrech Bugsy, Mugsy, Poppie, Kat, Namuh, Queenie, Cami, Amigo, Sallie, Bird, Goldie and fish |
