Meet Lucius, a young green sea turtle who came to us weak, underweight, and unable to open his mouth due to suspected Lockjaw Syndrome. Eating was impossible, and traditional treatments like steroids and pain meds weren’t helping.🥹
Using acupuncture, B12 aqua injections, and acupressure, we focused on stimulating the nerves and muscles needed for jaw movement. These non-invasive therapies help improve circulation, release tension, and support healing, essential for a turtle that needs to regain strength.
Rehab for sea turtles is a team effort, and ongoing therapy is key in helping sea turtles recover.🩵
Every case teaches us more about what’s possible with integrative care, and we’re hopeful for more progress!
