Targeted Relief, Rooted in Tradition

At ACE of Paws, we offer both acupuncture and electro-acupuncture to support your pet’s recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life. This integrative therapy accesses nerve pathways and neurotransmitters to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Each acupuncture point can help release hormones and beneficial chemicals that reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and ease discomfort.

Acupuncture is especially helpful for managing arthritis, chronic pain, mobility issues, and anxiety. Many of our patients find this part of their therapy relaxing—some even fall asleep during treatment. Dr. Esquivel evaluates each patient’s comfort level and response to the therapy to ensure a positive experience.

Electro-acupuncture is a specialized form of treatment that involves gently stimulating the acupuncture needles with a mild electrical current. This approach is particularly effective for nerve-related conditions such as IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) and Degenerative Myelopathy, helping to activate nerve pathways and support neurological function.

Every pet’s response is different—some may show immediate improvement, while others benefit gradually with consistent treatment. Our goal is to tailor every session to your pet’s needs and provide relief in a safe, gentle way.
