Veterinary Acupuncture

The first in a series of four books covering different species, this is a neuroanatomical reference work for veterinary acupuncture. A pictorial representation (photographs and illustrations) of local neural structures and other key anatomical details supports point placement rationale.

Until now, considerable controversy and inaccuracies have existed about veterinary acupuncture point locations. While careful neuroanatomical study of acupuncture points across species has been overlooked; clinicians and researchers alike have relied on transposition of acupuncture points from human atlases. The success of acupuncture relies on accurate neuroanatomic relationships for successful treatment. The first in a series of four books covering different species, this is a neuroanatomical reference work for veterinary acupuncture. A pictorial representation (photographs of dissections and illustrations) of local neural structures and other key anatomical details supports point placement rationale. Discussion of the effects of stimulation of these sites provides clinicians, researchers and students of veterinary acupuncture with much needed information on which to base decisions on acupuncture point formulae for treatments and research.
