Acupuncture is one of five complementary branches of Chinese Medicine. The other four
include, Herbal Therapy, Food Therapy, Tui-Na, and Qi-Gong. Acupuncture is the art of
stimulating acupoints by placing tiny needles into very specific locations within the meridians in the
body. The goal is to treat existing conditions and balance and harmonize the body systems in order to
optimize health and performance of an individual. This method is effective whether the patient is an
elite athlete, performance or show horse, breeding, trail, pleasure horse or pasture pal! There are
several ways to stimulate the points including the use of dry needles, aquapuncture (often an injection
of vitamin B12), moxabustion ( burning an herb over specific points), electrical stimulation( a very light
impulse is used) and laser stimulation. Acupuncture, herbal therapy and massage therapy are often
used to smooth out muscle soreness developed during training and ease the rigors of competition.
Chinese herbs are also used under the same principle as acupuncture in terms of treating disease
conditions, relieving pain and discomfort, and harmonizing the body systems. They are particularly
useful in horse who are needle shy!
