Acupuncture for Horses and Ponies

Horses and ponies generally enjoy acupuncture, when it is indicated. As in all species, we attend to diet, lifestyle and potential obstacles to recovery (including saddling and shoeing in equines), along with a full chiropractic check and any necessary chiropractic manipulation.

Conditions in which we find acupuncture (holistically applied) most helpful or beneficial in horses or ponies are:
 
Head-shaking (Head shaking, Headshaking)
Back pain
Arthritis
Sinusitis
Laminitis
Navicular
Periodic Ophthalmia (a.k.a Moon Blindness, Recurrent Ophthalmia, Recurrent Uveitis or Moonblindness)
Shoulder lameness
Paralysis
Lumbo-sacral problems
Colic
Pain control
 
Head shaker syndrome (head-shaker) is particularly challenging but we are seeing the majority with a positive outcome.
