The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society maintains a web site at http://www.ivas.org which begins with the following quote:
This site provides a thorough insight into acupuncture as an alternative treatment strategy. By using the ancient Chinese medical art of acupuncture they have been able to help dogs with lameness, inflammation, pain, and respiratory and gastrointestinal problems. And, side-effects are usually minimal and short-lived.
If you are seeking alternative methods to treat your pet, or if you have had no success with conventional treatment, talk with your vet about acupuncture. And, visit the IVAS web site.
Another interesting acupuncture site is: The American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture
