There’s a calm that settles over the room when the needles are placed.
No struggle. No noise. Just a pet’s breathing — steadying — as tension begins to lift.

Veterinary acupuncture in Mobile, AL has long been part of the way Dr. Lydia Weber cares for aging and ailing pets. Now offered through Reverent Care℠ at Reverent Coast℠, this trusted service continues — the same skilled hands, the same gentle approach, simply under a new home.

Families and local veterinarians who once visited Dr. Lydia at EverLoved® Veterinary can continue their pets’ comfort care here. The name has changed; the heart of her work has not.

Acupuncture can ease inflammation, reduce pain, and help restore normal function in senior pets or those living with chronic illness. It’s especially gentle for older companions who can’t tolerate certain medications or who need added comfort alongside hospice or end-of-life care.

At Reverent Care℠, every session is shaped around one goal: comfort that honors the whole animal — body, breath, and trust.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture has therapeutic effects for a wide range of conditions, especially those involving inflammation, pain, or impaired mobility.

By stimulating precise points on the body, the treatment encourages blood flow, releases endorphins, and supports natural healing pathways.

It’s an approach rooted in balance — one that complements traditional veterinary medicine while offering something medication alone can’t always provide: calm.

Dr. Lydia is CuraCore®-certified in medical acupuncture, a program that combines classical technique with modern anatomy, neurology, and evidence-based pain management. This means every session reflects both the art and the science of healing — precise, grounded, and guided by years of trusted experience.

Conditions often supported by acupuncture include:

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and hind-end weakness

• Degenerative myelopathy and neuropathy

• Chronic pain and post-surgical recovery

• Gastrointestinal inflammation (IBD)

• Skin irritation and allergic dermatitis

• Stress-related behaviors or anxiety

Each case is individual. The rhythm of sessions — whether once or twice a month, or as part of a longer comfort-care plan — is determined by your pet’s response, not a rigid schedule.

What to Expect in an Acupuncture Treatment

• Appointments are peaceful by design.
  Most pets relax within minutes. Many even fall asleep.

• Each session lasts about 60 minutes and includes a gentle physical assessment, discussion of your pet’s daily habits, and careful placement of fine, sterile needles in specific points that encourage relief.

• Families often notice small changes first — easier movement, brighter eyes, deeper rest. With repeated sessions, mobility and quality of life often improve in ways that feel both subtle and profound.

• For pets nearing the end of life, acupuncture can provide comfort without the fog of heavy medication. It can make the days that remain more comfortable — and more themselves.
