Dr Gerardi, and her team are amazing! She has helped me with all three of my dogs. She has been able to show me the options for care that other vets have not. This resulted in a longer and more fulfilling life for my dogs! I highly recommend you set up a consultation just to learn about what she does and how it could help your pet! This is Farley getting acupuncture!

It was such a pleasure to get a text update on one of our favorite patient and clients. Marley is a 11 yr Female, 75 pound, Labrador Retriever suffering from severe spinal and hip arthritis and limited mobility. She was treated with a systemic and local treatment of an Allogenic Amniotic Allograft to treat her painful arthritis and limited mobility concerns.
Today we got some good news… “My sister came for a visit and the first thing she said when she walked in the door, “Marley looks so good and acts differently”. She continued to say this multiple times during her stay!

My 11 year Shipoo Rocky has been going to Dr. Gerardi for over two years. Rocky suffered from storm phobia, separation anxiety, aggression, and poor appetite. We had dealt with this at home for years.
Dr. Gerardi started Rocky on a crockpot diet, vitamin and mineral supplements to help with nutrition and other herbals for anxiety. Rocky receives acupuncture and vitamin B12 shots there as well. He now is better able to deal with storms and separation anxiety. He loves the crockpot food recipe that Dr. Gerardi gave us. We are able to take him to Union Point Park for concerts and baseball games at Grainger Stadium in Kinston. We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Gerardi and Alice for all of the hard work and patience in helping our Rocky. The pictures attached are from the office session on March 31st. He has acupuncture needles in him. He is also receiving a massage from me.
Baxter was facing the possibility of paralysis and being on medication for the foreseeable future. Dr. Joyce offered us the opportunity to try acupuncture in conjunction with modern medicine in hopes that paralysis would not set in and medication would be temporary. Thanks to her Acupuncture treatments and Herbal Medicines Baxter no longer shows signs of impending paralysis and is no longer on any other medications. He’s back to his old self! I am forever grateful to Dr. Joyce and how she helped Baxter and will always be a supporter of Kindred-Canines In Motion (KIM).

PRP therapy has given our sweet, 13-year-old labrador retriever (Molly) a new lease on life. After her first treatment, she went from being a dog who was in so much arthritic pain that she resisted even getting out of her bed or being taking outside for a potty break to one who now again follows her people from room to room and goes through her doggy door without prompting to sniff around the back yard and sun by the pool. It took a few weeks to see results, but they were quite noticable when the treatment began to “kick in”. Even our neighbors commented on the improvement of her mobility. She has since had two subsequent treatments and is enjoying a much greater quality of life because of them. For Molly, PRP therapy has provided a lot of bang for the relatively non-cost prohibitive price of the treatment.

Dugan, my 12 year old assistance Labrador mix, has really struggled with arthritis, especially in his left elbow and hind end. We did stem cell treatment and PRP with Dr. Gerardi in June 2013 and it seemed to breathe more life into his aging joints. More recently, in December 2013, we did another PRP treatment and really tried to get into his hip joints and shoulders and followed it up with laser treatment on his spine. I have seen such a great improvement in his movement, disposition, and quality of life. His back end is still weaker and he still limps on his elbow but he is not nearly as stiff and seems to be in much less pain. Dugan has always been playful and goofy but that gradually got tempered as the arthritis increased. I have seen a dramatic difference in his mood and my ‘puppy dog’ is back! One important observation is that I noticed he is able to walk further and pace with me and my wheelchair again. For a long time he had trouble going only halfway around my apartment complex before his hind legs would start shaking with fatigue and I would have to slow down. He is back to being able to keep up with me and go around the whole circle without fatiguing. These treatments have really helped Dugan still be Dugan. He still limps and can’t quite keep up with the young dogs (as he got a strong dose of that reality on Christmas from a big Lab named Jake lol) but these treatments have helped Dugan get back to himself and if I can have a few more years of the joy he gives me I will take it!

I was referred to Kindered-Canines in Motion by my local vet. My Yorkie, Lexi was suffering from hip and leg pain and was getting ready to undergo surgery when my vet told me to schedule an appointment with Dr. Gerardi. Lexi went through 3 sessions of acupuncture with great results. For the first time in years, Lexi had pain relief and her range of motion improved tremendously. She no longer needed surgery. From the moment we met Dr. Gerardi Lexi and myself fell in love with her. She not only helped Lexi get back to an active life by helping improver her musculoskeletal problems but she also has helped improve her overall health by addressing her diet and some liver issues. We can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gerardi. I am so grateful for the care she provides and helping improve Lexi’s quality of life!
