Points and Joints: Clinical Integration of Acupuncture and Manual Therapy in the Equine Patient

May: Friday to Sunday, 3^rd to 5^th, 2024 at the Heimathaus Sittensen, Northern Germany

Improving the outcome of your chiropractic treatment with acupuncture has been a goal for many of us involved in equine chiropractic. This three-day seminar is designed to provide a structured platform for important considerations with regard to integrating the two treatment modalities. The fact that acupuncture and chiropractic compliment each other in a synergistic way in practice is already well known. Through this seminar, we will learn how to be as effective and consistent as possible in diagnosing and treating our equine patients.

• TCM Five Element Theory:
  • Identifying the different horse types.
  • Case management implications
• Simplifying challenging chiropractic patients through acupuncture.
  • Nervousness, fearfulness, muscle hypertonicity, hypersensitivity, painfulness.
• Regional acupuncture relating to manual therapy patterns.
• Effective use of diagnostic points to identify specific joint problems, stomach problems and hormonal problems.
• Tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis
