What Is Equine Acupuncture?
Equine acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that stimulates specific points on the body using fine, sterile needles. These points correspond to nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, encouraging the body’s natural healing response. Modern veterinary acupuncture blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western anatomy and physiology to improve circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and restore balance throughout the body.
​​Benefits of Equine Acupuncture
Recovery From Injury
Acupuncture is widely used in rehabilitation programs to:
• Reduce pain and inflammation

• Support soft-tissue healing
• Help restore normal movement patterns
It pairs exceptionally well with modalities such as aqua tread, red-light therapy, PEMF, and therapeutic exercise.
