ACUPUNCTURE

Equine Acupuncture

As quite a few of you are already aware, one of our vets, Hayley Parker, is trained in equine acupuncture.   Acupuncture can be helpful for many ailments, from muscle soreness to gut and respiratory problems, from kissing spine surgery rehabilitation to reproductive issues. Hayley can also perform electro-acupuncture, where electric currents are passed along the needles to cause muscle twitching - this is great to encourage muscle buildup. It can also be used to successfully treat headshakers by placing needles near the trigeminal nerve.  It can be beneficial to all sorts of horses and ponies; in the photos she is treating a young sports horse which is recovering from a pelvic injury and also a geriatric Arab mare who needs a bit of general maintenance from aches and pain of the older horse. It is a great way of pick up an early problem before it becomes a bigger issue.  Each acupuncture session costs £60 inc VAT. We recommend an initial cost of 5 treatments, initially 1 week apart.
