Description
The field of pain research is rapidly expanding in both human and veterinary medicine, and has helped increase our understanding of acupuncture. Essentials of Western Veterinary Acupuncture 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, pain management and practical aspects such as types of needles and methods of restraint, and related techniques.This ebook is a preparatory text for those considering taking an acupuncture course and those wishing to gain a solid understanding of the subject. 209 p.
