Acupuncture for Farm Animals
Farming finds itself in a difficult economic situation, so this form of hands-on therapy can be difficult to afford.
However, pedigree breeders, organic farmers and others do call us out, for various problems, in cattle, sheep and pigs. Other
farmed species are more rarely seen: deer, buffalo, camelids (llamas, alpacas etc.). We have yet to be asked to treat reindeer. As
in all species, we attend to diet, lifestyle and potential obstacles to recovery (including housing and other management
issues), along with a full chiropractic check and any necessary chiropractic manipulation (i.e. holistic treatment),
in support of acupuncture treatment.
