Hi! I am a
veterinarian who is certified in veterinary acupuncture (and also compete in
agility with my Weimaraner). If the veterinary acupuncturist you are seeing in
trained in making a diagnosis using Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques -
you don't need to know exactly what muscle group, tendon, etc... is the problem.
TCM treats based on a
whole patient approach with the goal of rebalancing energy, they do not approach
disease from the same background that conventional practitioners do. However, if
your acupuncturist is basically a conventional practitioner using a
"cookbook" approach to acupuncture - they most certainly need to know
what the injury is before being able to
select appropriate points to treat I think both approaches can work. |
