As our pets age, many can experience pain moving around, going up and down stairs and their mobility becomes limited. Using some form of pain medication is often necessary. However, you can use alternative holistic treatments to reduce the amount of medication required as pain medications can have long-term health consequences. Acupuncture, chiropractic, cold laser, physical therapy and acuscope are natural therapies that can really help. While these treatments are often available through holistic vets, there are licensed veterinary practitioners Gina Gould who offer them too. How to find a practitioner to keep your pet moving? Go to AHVMA.org, ask at horse stables, search online or on social media groups. It may take a few sessions but the results can be life-changing.
