Treating Horses With Acupuncture
Just like acupuncture for humans, equine acupuncture or acupuncture for horses also employ the use of needles. These needles are very thin. They must be sterilized and must be used only once. The needles are inserted in specific points to target specific concerns. It aims to restore balance in the energy. It also triggers the release of endorphins which is considered as the body’s natural pain reliever. Since these needles are very thin, pain is seldom felt. If there is pain, it usually goes away easily. Just like most treatments, effect is seen after several applications. Follow-ups are also recommended to ensure prolonged effect.
