EverLoved Veterinary offers in-home veterinary acupuncture as a natural and effective therapy for skin diseases, such as lick granulomas and allergic dermatitis, without adverse side effects. As the only practice providing in-home veterinary acupuncture in the Mobile and Eastern Shore area, owner Lydia Sullivan values the house call approach because it minimizes the discomfort of having to transport a pet in pain, while also providing a familiar and private setting for treatments.

“As allergies are ultimately an inflammatory disease, acupuncture can be an effective therapy for inflamed skin just as it is with the inflamed joints of arthritic patients,” says Sullivan, who is certified in veterinary medical acupuncture and rehabilitation. Additional conditions that are commonly treated with acupuncture include other inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel disease and asthma; neuropathies such as intervertebral disc disease, degenerative myelopathy and hind end weakness; chronic pain and acute post-surgical pain; soft tissue and exercise related injuries; and liver and kidney disease.

For optimal benefits, an initial three sessions are recommended, followed by an individualized schedule of future sessions should further treatment be warranted.
