Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) that involves the insertion of fine needles through the skin at particular points to cause therapeutic effects. It can be used in conjunction with conventional veterinary medicine to treat various equine medical conditions and to relieve pain. Acupuncture has been used to treat various medical conditions in humans and animals for more than 3,000 years. Horses were among the first animals treated with acupuncture due to their importance in warfare and farming. Today, equine acupuncture is commonly incorporated in the treatment of a number of conditions, especially musculoskeletal disorders and back pain.

Acupuncture is a sought after treatment by horse owners due to its demonstrated safety and minimal unwanted side effects. It is well tolerated by most horses and provides a drug-free approach to address musculoskeletal pain that can enhance equine performance.
