Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Chrysann is learning the practice of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), with an emphasis on Acupuncture. Does it work in horses? Yes, it does, when performed correctly, with an accurate and appropriate diagnosis. TCVM is based on the ancient concept that energy follows specific anatomic pathways, called meridians. Meridians have now been mapped using modern scientific methods. If a radio signal is introduced at one acupuncture point, it accumulates at other points along that meridian, but NOT at points on other meridians. Also, MRI brain images have shown that pain related acupuncture points activate specific pain-associated brainstem regions, while sham points do not. Join Dr. C in expanding our ability to keep our horses healthy and comfortable by using TCVM and acupuncture.
