Acupuncture has been utilized for thousands of years to maintain homeostasis and regain balance in the face of disease. In modern times, the body of Western research around the efficacy and benefits of acupuncture is growing and provides much needed evidence to gain acceptance in the veterinary medical community. This presentation will cover some of the foundational concepts of the Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) model and how they relate to conventional medicine and research findings. Essentially, the goal is to translate TCM terminology and to highlight the benefits of TCM and acupuncture when integrated into treatment plans for veterinary patients.
