The field of pain research is rapidly expanding in both human and
veterinary medicine, and has helped increase our understanding of
acupuncture. However, many are still highly sceptical about the use
of acupuncture and prefer for it to remain far from orthodox
veterinary practice.
This book seeks to challenge common misgivings by showing how
veterinary acupuncture works (for small and large animals), and why
it should be established as an orthodox form of treatment.
Written from a Western approach, rather than a traditional
Chinese Medicine approach, it explains the background and history
of acupuncture and includes key information on safety aspects,
understanding pain and how acupuncture can help, practical aspects
such as types of needles and methods of restraint, and related
techniques.
Not intended as a techniques manual, this book is a preparatory text for those considering taking an acupuncture course and those wishing to gain a solid understanding of the subject.
