Acupuncture is the treatment of conditions or symptoms by the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body in order to produce a response. In veterinary medicine, there is evidence of the success of acupuncture for treating disorders of the reproductive, musculoskeletal, neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and dermatologic systems. The most common conditions that are treated include traumatic nerve injuries, intervertebral disk disease, degenerative myelopathy, and chronic pain such as that caused by arthritis and degenerative joint disease. Acupuncture stimulates the healing of some conditions and provides effective pain relief in others. Acupuncture is a complementary medicine that can be combined with other types of veterinary medicine.
