What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a mode of body treatment that was discovered in China nearly 4500 years back. The ancient Chinese were able to perform this after much of practice but today, there are specific courses and programs through which this treatment technique could be learnt.

Acupuncture mostly involves the usage of needles, which are inserted at some specific parts of body where nerve bundles and blood vessels tend to intersect with each other. These points are said to be the energy channels of the body and placement of needles in these chances would lead to enhance in blood circulation.

Acupuncture could also help in release in certain hormones in the body and thereby, help to prevent hormonal imbalance.

Other Forms Of Acupuncture:

Besides the usage of needles to stimulate the body fluids, acupuncture could also involve treatment using some other methods and forms such as:

·         Acupressure: The process involves putting pressure to specific points of the body manually or by machines to treat conditions where use of needles is not possible in the body of pets.

·         Aquapuncture: Just as the name suggests, it involves inserting certain kinds of liquids inside the body of pets so that it could act as an energizer and eliminate disorders in the body. The liquids which could be inserted are homeopathics, diluted Vitamin B12 and other required liquids.

·         Moxibustion: Moxibustion is the process of applying heated herbal compounds to the needles used. Due to heating, the needles which are used would be highly effective, especially for pets that are aged and have muscle soreness or joint stiffness.

·         Electrostimulation (Estim): The process involves a passage of electric current in the needles that are inserted as a part of acupuncture. Due to this, the spasming muscles would be offered a relief and nerve impulses would be re-established in the nerves, which have been subjected to damages.
