25.01.2022 Is anyone working near Macedon Ranges that could treat a downer cow with acupuncture?

24.01.2022 How beneficial acupuncture can be for geriatric dogs is now recognised by an increasing number of practitioners in the veterinary industry. Michelle Monk, senio...r physiotherapist and director of Dogs in Motion and Dr David Stasiuk (owner of Bentleigh Vet Clinic) brought their dogs Oscar and Ali in today for their regular top up treatment. Apart from the instant relaxation (as you can see), acupuncture can provide a great source of pain relieve and wellbeing and helps to increase mobility and energy levels in our older patients.

18.01.2022 Acupuncture enjoys moderate to strong evidence of effectiveness in the treatment of 46 conditions and is considered safe in the hands of properly trained practi...tioners. This strong scientific support is impressive and helpful for patients in the context of a conventional healthcare system where nearly half of all treatments lack evidence for their use. Acupuncture is also considered cost-effective for a number of conditions where evidence is available. Comparatively, for many conditions it enjoys greater evidence than many conventional treatments and is relatively safer. https://www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/acupuncture-scien/

12.01.2022 Happy #ReptileAwarenessDay! Pictured is one of our tortoise patients receiving acupuncture to help with pain management and healing.

11.01.2022 Welcome to acu in practice! This week is a double feature Ralph and Sugar Bear, both senior pugs These two are a joy to work with. They each have their uniq...ue set of challenges, but they both have spinal arthritis and collapsing trachea. One of the main signs I work on during their visits is the hunched posture you see in their before photos. That is, before we do acupuncture with electrostimulation to relax their muscles around the spine, strengthen the actual muscle fibers, and stimulate the nerves coming off of the spine. It is much easier to elongate the spine when the patient relaxes and lies down, as you can see in these photos. Ralph took to the treatments right away and Sugar Bear was a little skeptical, but he settled in by his second treatment. For the boys we are also working on collapsing trachea by using acupuncture points associated with the nerves going to that area and the larynx. This is a more major problem for Sugar Bear and it does require an integrative approach with western medications, herbs, supplements, food therapy and the acu. One major change for Sugar Bear since beginning the program is that he is less anxious and not vocalizing as often. Anxiety can trigger collapsing trachea episodes so this is a win. Ralph has been dealing with cerebellar abnormalities that cause his head to sway and affect his balance. One of our biggest wins for Ralph is that each time he has returned, he has gained more control over his head movements. Together with their owners, we will continue to work for wins for these boys! They are truly resilient and super senior pets!

05.01.2022 Welcome to Acu in Practice! Meet Nelson, a 8.5 year old canine who has dealt with chronic atopic (allergic) dermatitis and otitis for years. Here are his befor...e and after getting on the Integrative Program shots! Nelson is prone to Damp Heat affecting his ears and his skin. He has been responsive to steroid therapy, but still has flare ups even when he is on them. Currently, he is on Temeril P which is a combination of antihistamine and steroid. However, when he came to visit you can see that he was still suffering from otitis, as well as pododermatitis and a general itch. His feet and ear canals were red, swollen and both had quite a bit of moist, dark exudate (check out all of our cleaning materials!). He also had sticky, thick crusting in his facial skin folds and around his eyelid margins. His skin and ear cytology showed bacterial overgrowth and some extra yeast in the ears only. His overall energy level is great. Nelson is a super sweet dog and very tolerant. His digestion is normal other than occasionally he has mucous in his stool. He was eating a very wide variety of food and treats. Pulses were fast and he had red edges to his tongue. Since starting the integrative program (3 months ago), the Damp Heat in his ears and on his feet has resolved, he only has mild intermittent itch, and he just looks a lot happier! His tongue is pink and his pulses are normal. TCM Diagnosis: Damp Heat affecting the Skin and the Ears (Gallbladder Channel) Wei Qi Deficiency/Imbalance (since young) likely stemming from Jing Def TCM treatment principles: Clear Damp Heat Tonify and Balance Wei Qi, Support Kidney, Spleen and Lung Acupuncture RX: GV 20, GV 14, BL 20, BL 23, ST 36 right, SP 6 left, LIV 13, LU 7 left and LI 4 right, GB 20 When ears were really inflamed, I used Vitamin B12 aquapressure in SI 19 and GB 2. Now, he receives Vitamin B12 in the point/on the channel that I feel is most deficient at that specific visit. Other treatments to note: Nelson started on Long Dan Er Miao San (I used Damp Heat Derma Relief by Kan Herb) when his Damp Heat signs were really pronounced. Currently he is on Si Miao San (Four Marvels by Kan Herb) for less intensive prevention of Damp Heat. We streamlined Nelsons diet to more cooling foods and treats that do not potentiate Damp. He has continued the Temeril P and medicated ear cleansing, but we hope to phase these out over time. The goal is the happiest, healthiest, least itchy life for Nelson!

05.01.2022 A big part of TCM Diagnosis is based on observation. And colours of the body play a huge role in determining what's going on with the patient. - RED: HEAT (Exce...ss or deficiency). Red face is due to Excess Heat, but red cheeks are due to Yin deficiency. Red nose is due to excess heat in the Lung. - YELLOW: DAMPNESS (Excess pattern). Yellow palms are due to excess dampness. Yellow nasal discharge: damp-heat because usually there is an infection, and heat will show as well. - PURPLE: BLOOD STASIS (Excess pattern). Purple lips is due to Stomach blood stasis. Purple clots in the menstruation blood is due to LV Blood stasis. - BLUE: COLD (Excess pattern). Excess cold always congeals and impairs blood circulation creating pain! Cold blue fingers are often due to Blood stasis & Excess cold in the channels. - PALE: QI, BLOOD or YANG deficiency. Pale Nails are due to LV Blood deficiency. Pale lips are a Sp Qi deficiency issue. Pale & Puffy face is often due a Yang Deficiency. - BLACK/GREY: not as common but usually relates to TCM Kidneys issues. Black circles under the eyes are due to a KD deficiency. See more

04.01.2022 Meet Tiberius, an owl who was brought to the University of Florida Veterinary Clinical Hospital for treatment of an exposed radius and cube fracture. Once the f...racture was stabilized, Tiberius presented with radial nerve paralysis in the affected limb. It was decided to apply Integrative Medicine: TCVM and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation techniques. Acupuncture selection was made according to the Theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation protocols consisted of Hyperbaric Medicine, passive and active kinesitherapy techniques, passive movements of the joints through active movements, and muscle development and retraining on the fly. With the use of these integrative treatment methods, Tiberius was able to make a full recovery and return to his natural habitat. Visit us at watcvm.org to learn more about the many benefits of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, and Chinese medical massage (Tui-na).

04.01.2022 O projeto voluntário Dbutsu-zen desenvolvido pela Caanes Acupuntura Veterinária Brasil e Espanha tem como objetivo levar as terapias de medicina oriental para ...animais silvestres resgatados. Os pacientes em tratamento não são submetidos a contenção química (anestésicos) apenas contenção física básica por equipe capacitada pois entendemos que o estresse não pode existir em casos de animais silvestres. Se o estresse da manipulação for considerável, seja na contenção ou na aplicação das técnicas, não é realizado o procedimento. Esse Sagui de tufos pretos representa tudo que buscamos. Um tratamento de medicina oriental, sem estresse, com qualidade e segurança para paciente e terapeuta veterinário. #acupuntura#medvet
