So how does it work?
Acupuncture points exist along meridians that run through the body. Each meridian generally consists of a neurovascular bundle, therefore each point is generally located on or near a neurovascular bundle. By placing the needle, you can stimulate blood flow to help healing of injured tissue as well as affect the neurologic pain pathway to reduce pain and increase functionality.
What types of issues can it be used to treat?
Acupuncture can be used to help in healing and improving comfort level for a variety of issues from general arthritis to helping eliminate hives. In fact, acupuncture can make a very significant difference not only in horses with generalized aches and pains from arthritis but also those with back pain due to kissing spines.
Acupuncture can also be used to help increase energy levels and improve overall performance. It can be used as a stand alone therapy for some issues or it can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments to help boost the effects.
