In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) theory, disease is an imbalance of energy in the body. The theory is based on balancing the energy (Yin & Yang), thereby imparting improved health and healing. It is now being utilized by an increasing number of veterinarians, alongside Western medicine, for various disease conditions. Acupuncture causes an endorphin release along with many neurotransmitters and neurohormones. Acupuncture also increases circulation, relieves muscle spasms, stimulates nerves, and stimulates the body’s defense system, among many other beneficial effects.
