Animal Acupuncture Westside

My dog was diagnosed with IVDD& was paralyzed from the neck down. I took him to 2 vets and was told that I should consider putting him down. I then brought my dog here and my dog recieved accupuncture, cold laser therapy and personalized Chinese medicine and after 2 visits began to walk. Now, after 3 visits he is running& jumping. I highly recommend this place, he saved my dog's life, literally.

I think Dr S is a wizard. Our 15 year old pibble could barely walk, was listless and had no appetite. He was a little better after 1 treatment. He now has lots of energy, a great appetite and more interest in what is going on around him. He even romps on occasion. I cannot recommend Animal Accupuncture Westside enough.

Brought our boy Sherlock (Giant Schnauzer/ Poodle mix) to Animal Acupuncture Westside after a lack of diagnosis or effective treatment via conventional veterinary practices for the weakness and immobility he was experiencing in his hind legs. He couldnt get up from the floor on his own, often slipped and fell when walking, and would fall down trying to go up stairs. At 8 1/2 years young, there had to be options for my long-time adventure partner. Our regular vet mentioned acupuncture and I thought, what have we got to lose. Dr. Schlesinger was very thorough in his initial assessment of Sherlock, and we started seeing him weekly for a few sessions, then every two weeks for acupuncture, the occasional cold laser, and the supplemental Chinese herbs we would add to Sherlocks food. We didnt see immediate results, but heeded the expertise of Dr. Schlesinger that every patient responds differently, and that some require a longer period of consistent treatment. So we stuck with it, and Im so glad we did! After six months of acupuncture, herbs, and some dietary changes, we saw not just results, but phenomenal results! Sherlock can now walk up stairs, no problem, got back enough energy to rough-house with his 3-year old fur brother, and has been doing short hikes with the family. Im so grateful to Dr. Schlesinger for his expertise and kindness throughout this challenging season! We now maintain Sherlocks progress with a visit every 3 weeks, and Sherlock loves the focused attention at each session and the cookie at the end! Now at 9 3/4 years young, Sherlock is thriving!
