The ancient Chinese observed that stimulation of specific areas on the body surface could relieve pain and internal discomfort and assist in healing as well. These "acu-points" were organized into relationships called channels. The placement of acupuncture needles into specific acu-points along these channels encourages the body to balance, heal and overcome pain.
Veterinary acupuncture can effectively treat arthritis, hip/back/neck/shoulder/elbow/knee pain, intervertebral disc disease, neurological, skin & gastrointestinal problems, immune system imbalances & allergies, nausea and appetite problems, some cases of organ failure & cancer and can also help in recovery/rehabilitation after surgery or injury.
Over the years I have been surprised many times by the helpful ability of acupuncture and the down-side to trying it doesn't seem to exist. The non-invasive healing nature of this medicine can be truly astounding.
