Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be an excellent alternative for conditions that have not fully responded to conventional treatment. Most commonly acupuncture is being used for enhancing performance in the competitive horse. This is an excellent modality for relieving musculoskeletal pain, obscure lameness, back pain, and decreased performance.

Acupuncture can also be very effective for acute and chronic colic, metabolic disease, neurological disorders, heaves, allergies, laminitis, infertility, and for prevention of disease.
