Acupuncture is one of our most commonly asked about treatments. It is quite helpful for horses that are in pain, even helping with cancer pain and osteoarthritis. It can also help patients with a number of other problems including improved sleep, digestive function, and sense of well-being.
Many owners worry their horses will not tolerate acupuncture, but it is simple and usually enjoyable for the horse. They learn to love the interaction and experience.
If you are wondering if acupuncture could help your horse, don’t hesitate to ask your veterinarian. It does not hurt to try it out to see if it will make a difference.
