Advanced Acupuncture Techniques
Are you challenged when needling a point? Are you comfortable with your acupuncture techniques?
Acupuncture methods including auricular acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, needling techniques, needling points around difficult locations (eyes, feet, abdomen etc), aqua-acupuncture, gold implantation, pneumo-acupuncture and moxibustion will be demonstrated in the wet-lab.

In any medical system, effective treatment of disease hinges upon accurate, complete diagnoses, all of which is referred to as Bian Zheng , the diagnostic system of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). Bian, which is differentiation and identification, and Zheng, which is a type or pattern of illness, together indicate that the TCVM diagnostic system relies upon pattern
|
|
|
differentiation. Therefore, a correct TCVM diagnosis and effective treatment depend upon the practitioner's ability to analyze a patient's symptoms and to identify the Zheng (pattern of illness).
|
|
|
How to observe and palpate an actual patient is the most important part of the TCVM diagnosis. As you know TCVM diagnostics can be challenging. Therefore, this program will provide a unique opportunity for students to practice TCVM diagnostic skills including tongue and pulse reading in live small animal and equine cases.

Classical Acupoints
Acupuncture has been practiced in both animals and human beings for thousands of years in China . The earliest equine acupuncture book “bo le zhen jing” (Bole's Canon of Veterinary Acupuncture) is believed to have been written by Dr. Bo Le in Qin-mu-gong period (659 B.C. to 621 B.C.). Equine treatment protocols using acupuncture were well documented in this textbook.
|
|
|
Since then, acupuncture remains a significant part of mainstream veterinary medical care in China.
|
|
|
Acupuncture may be defined as the stimulation of a specific point on the body with a specific method, resulting in a therapeutic homeostatic effect. The specific point on the body is called “Shu-xue” or acupuncture point (acupoint). The ancient Chinese people discovered 361 acupoints in human beings,
173 acupoints in horses,
and 70 acupoints in dogs and cats. These points that were discovered in ancient times are called “Classical Points”.
