A Look At The Various Equine Acupuncture Methods
from:Acupuncture is one type of the medicine and been practiced for
more than 3000 years. This was first developed its roots in
Tibet and then spread all over the world. During the early days
it was called as the wonder medicine. Practitioners considered
this practice as the magic because they cure pains and diseases
just by sticking the patients with some needles. Physicists
realized that it as the part of medicine that includes herbs,
exercise, massage and medication. Today this treatment is
treated as a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This
treatment works wonders for humans as well as for animals.
Equine acupuncture involves treating horses by making use of
ancient Chinese acupuncture techniques.
Equine acupuncture is the therapy used to cure the horses with
the help of acupuncture therapy. Today equine acupuncture has
been equipped with various methods. These methods comprise of
simple insertion of needles, using injections, electro
acupuncture, laser and moxibustion, and ultra sound. However,
the most common method is of inserting the needles that are
traditional Acupressure needles. Usually these needles are very
fine and weight of the needles is around 28gm to 35gm. These
needles are solid as well as filiform.
While treating the horses they are injected at various points
that creates blister which disappear within the time period of
10 minutes and within this time period it stimulates the
pressure over acupressure points. However, a hypodermic of the
horses is quite stiff and when the muscles contracts needles
quite easily gets breaks. In this therapy, bleeding and pain are
common as the needles used are quite sharp. For this traditional
acupuncture, needles have to be built for tolerance.
These needles are also easy for EAP. In this treatment needles
works as the electrodes and electric current is passed through
it. This is the effective way to control pain and produces
higher level of stimulation than manual process. This reduces
the time required during the treatment.
In the laser treatment, the penetration of the needles is much
lower. Generally, most of the acupuncture point needs quite deep
penetration of the needles that ranges from about an inch to a
half to five inches. Yet study has proven that effect of the
laser therapy is useful in the area where deep penetration is
needed around 1/2"to 3/4". Many of the equine physicists found
laser as the safe option for treatment. Though this treatment is
common in the equine physicists treatments is coasty, especially
for invisible lasers.
Another type of the treatment is moxibustion popular in East.
This theory accupoints are heated and the burning herbs above
the skin of the point. In this treatment moxa sticks are used
that are made of the dried leaves of herbs called Artemesia
Vuloagaris. Generally, these sticks are placed over the needles
and burnt to stimulate the point. This method is rarely used in
the equines as it can irritate the horses with unpleasant
smells.
There are many types of the acupuncture techniques, which can
give relief to the horses. Majority horses face the problems of
chronic back pains. Along with such diseases, acupuncture
treatments are also useful to cure the disorders like
musculoskeletal and neurological conditions as well as gastro
intestinal disorders.
