Equine acupuncture is a holistic therapy that uses fine needles inserted into precise points on a horse’s body to support healing, alleviate pain, and boost overall health. Drawing from traditional Chinese medicine, it targets energy pathways, or meridians, to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore balance in the body’s systems. This gentle, drug-free approach is effective for a range of issues, including muscle soreness, joint pain, lameness, colic, respiratory problems, stress, and behavioral challenges, making it a favorite for performance horses to improve flexibility, stamina, and recovery time. Performed by certified practitioners, often in collaboration with veterinarians, equine acupuncture is safe and tailored to each horse’s needs. It’s an excellent option for horse owners seeking natural, non-invasive ways to keep their horses comfortable, energized, and performing at their best.
