Acupuncture may be
defined as the insertion of needles into specific points on the body to cause
a desired healing effect.
This technique has been used in veterinary practice
in China for at least 5000 years to treat many ailments.
Acupuncture is used
all over the world, to treat a wide variety of maladies in every species of domestic
animals.
Modern veterinary acupuncturists use solid needles, and acupuncture
is not a cure-all, but can work very well when it is indicated.
