Dogs Love it!

This is video of Benny getting his bi-weekly acupuncture treatment.

Benny had knee surgery to repair a torn ACL.  Unfortunately for Benny, this isn't the first time he's required this surgery.  LAST spring he had the same injury and same surgery on his OTHER knee!  

With Acupuncture and Chinese herbs, Benny healed extremely quickly from his surgery last year.  He was walking on it with very little limping after only about a month.  The usual recovery time is around 3 months!

Here's what Bridget, Benny's treat-hander-outer, had to say about Benny's surgery recovery last year:

"Two of my dogs are prone to orthopedic injuries, and both of them have had to have major surgeries to their knees. I took them to Thrive
acupuncture because my human family has had great outcomes from Becca Seitz's acupuncture prowess.


I was concerned that my husky mix and my pit bull would both be weird about the acupuncture needles. Becca was able to put them at ease, and needle them without stressing them out. Imagine my surprise to watch my big dog just fall asleep right after the needles went in.  Both Benny (the husky mix) and Olive (the pit bull) experienced faster healing times and much less post-surgical pain than is typical. They were able to go off of their pain medications very quickly. I was expecting them to have long recoveries, and both of them were walking normally within a month of their surgeries. This is just unheard of.


Big thanks to Becca Seitz and Thrive Acupuncture for making my dogs' post-surgery experience much less painful for them.


You saved our summer!"

Hope you enjoy this video of Benny's latest treatment! (Provided by Bridget Pilloud, Benny's treat-hander-outer) 

PS I hope you don't fall asleep watching it - I promise you, there are no dog attack scenes! ;)
