GREAT NEW ARTICLE in the Blood Horse Magazine on EQUINE
ACUPUNCTURE and Alternative Therapies. A MUST READ!!!!!
For a full understanding, please read about the theory of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
Animals respond so profoundly to Chinese Medicine that it's amazing. The number one problem
I am called in to evaluate is back pain but animal acupuncture encompasses so much more. Not
only can it help the following disorders but diagnostic points along the body can help determine
the energy restrictions that can cause lameness and pain.
In addition, I have seen incredible results with Craniosacral Therapy, and the animals absolutely
love it!
Other therapies included are Moxa, Laser therapy, Estim, Acupressure, Stretching and
Strengthening exercises and Kinesio taping.
The following is a general list of some of the most commonly treated illnesses.
- Musculoskeletal disorders and pain
- Injury and Lameness including back pain, hind and front leg lameness (stifle, hock,
ankles, knees, suspensory, ligament, tendon problems), pelvic, cervical and lumbar pain,
hip dysplasia and much more!
- Respiratory disorders, allergies, COPD
- Headshaking
- Muscular atrophy, tying up
- Neurological and Circulatory disorders
- Dermatitis, itchy skin, sarcoids
- Navicular, laminitis
- Behavioral problems, Nervousness, Anxiety etc.
- Mystery problems and pain from unknown causes
- Gastrointestinal and urogenital problems
- Infertility
- General failure to thrive
- Supportive therapy for other chronic and debilitating disorders
- And many more.
If you have questions about your animal, please call for a free consultation.
ANIMAL ACUPUNCTURE IS NOT MEANT TO REPLACE REGULAR
VETERINARY CARE!
MARYLAND LAW
In 1997, Maryland became the first state to pass an animal acupuncture law (HB 277). Acupuncturists and veterinarians together
drafted the new law. This law gives owners the opportunity to choose a licensed acupuncturist, certified in animal acupuncture,
to treat their animal. In order to ensure the best possible care, the animal must be seen by their veterinarian within 14 days prior
to beginning their first acupuncture treatment. An owner must bring a vet’s receipt (as proof of the animals veterinary visit) to
their first treatment.
