ACUPUNCTURE
|
AcupunctureAcupuncture is an integrative veterinary medical therapy that works by stimulating predetermined points, acupoints, to generate a physiological response. Acupoints have a high density of free nerve endings, small blood vessels, mast cells, and lymphatic vessels, which aid in creating a therapeutic response. Acupuncture can assist in controlling pain and muscle spasm, as well as promoting vasodilation and neuronal regeneration. Methods of acupuncture stimulation include dry needling, electroacupuncture, aquapuncture, and hemoacupuncture. The patient and their specific condition dictate the frequency of treatment and method of stimulation.

Chiropractic care

Chiropractic CareThe goal of animal chiropractic is to restore normal function to the skeletal system, thereby restoring normal function to all of the tissues surrounding the vertebrae.
Horses of all types can benefit from chiropractic care. Regular chiropractic care can find and treat issues that may not be leading to overt lameness, and can also prevent some chronic issues from muscle imbalances, overuse, or trauma. |
