Join Dr. Jennifer Melcher as she treats a client horse with acupuncture!
The effects of acupuncture therapy cannot be explained in terms of a single mechanism, but rather a series of interactions between the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system.
Dr. Jennifer also offers electroacupuncture and laser acupuncture therapy for additional benefits!

Horse Hocks 101:
The hock is a complex joint that's the equivalent of a human ankle. The hock absorbs and transmits forces generated by the hind limbs, and allows the horse to maintain balance and generate thrust.
The hock is made up of four joints, 10 bones, ligaments, tendons, and fluid. The largest joint is the tarso crural joint (TCJ), which is a high motion joint.The TCJ is where the greatest range of motion in the hock is.
The other three joints are the proximal intertarsal (PIT), distal intertarsal (DIT), and tarsometatarsal (TMT).
Your veterinarian might recommend hock injections for your horse to treat pain and inflammation in the hock joint, which can improve your horse's comfort and performance.

Just like our nails, horse hooves grow continuously and need regular trimming, typically every 6-8 weeks, to stay healthy. A saying goes: “No hoof, no horse.” Proper care of a horse's hooves is essential for overall wellbeing and performance.
