Veterinary acupuncture has been proven to be an effective modality for pain relief and relaxation In the United States. So many people think of acupuncture when they consider using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). There are actually five branches in TCM: acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tui-na, Food Therapy and Tai Chi/Qigong. Each branch is a specialized area that requires education and training to be performed effectively. This seminar highlights some more popular and effective uses of Veterinary Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, as well as their contraindications.
