The Chinese healing art of acupuncture dates back for thousands of years. Though its exact age is uncertain, up until the twentieth century, much of the population of the world was uninformed about acupuncture, its origins, and its capacity to promote and maintain good health. Today in most western cultures it is considered a new alternative medicine. Used for over 3,500 years in China on both animals and humans, acupuncture is not only safe, it is the favored treatment for one quarter of the world's population. As physicians are doing with many alternative treatments for humans, veterinarians are increasingly combining acupuncture with Western treatments and medications. This ‘complementary' veterinary medicine often provides patients with the greatest benefits and faster recovery times. |

Acupuncture acts by stimulating specific spots in the body with needles, lasers, heat and massage to balance energy and promote healing. There is a legend that it began almost 4,000 years ago in China when horses that had been previously injured were pierced with arrows in battle, and were observed to heal more quickly than others.

Since 1996 the American Veterinary Medical Association has considered acupuncture an integral part of
veteri- nary medicine, and the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has more than 700 members, many of whom practice acupuncture. Acupuncture can treat animal illnesses ranging from arthritis to asthma, and even behavior problems. It is also gaining increasing popularity as an alternative to painkillers and surgery. Like all holistic veterinary treatments, acupuncture looks at the whole body, not just isolated parts. Instead of focusing on simply alleviating symptoms, it works to resolve the cause and the problem. It looks beyond the animal's medical background to her environment, nutrition, behavior patterns and relationships.

Doctors insert thin, flexible, sterile, stainless steel needles at precise points on your animal's body to stimulate the nervous system and to help promote his natural healing abilities. Studies show that acupuncture causes the release of hormones, cortisones and natural painkillers such as endorphins, among other substances, which accounts for its extraordinary effects.
