Acupuncture

Acupuncture was developed thousands of years ago in China.

Acupuncture points spread all over the body are used to balance the body´s Qi (energy) and induce a self healing process.

Some antique Chinese points may be used. However, a system of meridians and phases transposed from human acupuncture is more commonly used in modern equine acupuncture.

A Western diagnosis cannot be used for acupuncture treatment. Many times a Western diagnosis is a combination of many different imbalances.

Proper acupuncture diagnosis is done by inspection, smell ,pulse diagnosis, and most importantly, palpation of diagnostic acupuncture points.

Only an examination of this kind can lead to a proper acupuncture diagnosis and choice of treatment points.

The points are sedated or stimulated in many different ways.
They can be treated by conservative dry needling with acupuncture needles or injected with medications (aquapuncture).

Other treatment options include Moxa, electro stimulation or laser therapy.

Due to the relaxing effect of acupuncture it is very effective to combine the it with osteopathy. The effect is more than additive.
