Acupuncture is typically used in cases such as muscle soreness including back and neck pain, muscle weakness, inflammation, and poor performance. Some other conditions treated are anhidrosis (non-sweating), poor fertility, nerve damage, and behavioral issues. Acupuncture helps keep the body in balance and restore the body's ability to heal. It is considered performance enhancing and is beneficial in maintaining a healthy horse especially during show season.
