Point To Point Veterinary acupuncture Point To Point Veterinary Acupuncture is a veterinary acupuncture service for animals in the North W In 2018 I left to re-train as a veterinary acupuncturist.

Hi, my name is Avril and I am a qualified veterinary surgeon. In the 23yrs that I have been qualified I have worked in general practice (11yrs) and was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Liverpool Vet School for 12yrs. I have trained in both Western (ABVA accredited) and Chinese (IVAS accredited) acupuncture techniques. My fascination with acupuncture began when I had acupuncture for a chronic

neck injury and shoulder pain in 2006. It made a huge difference to me. So I then took my 13yr old dog for acupuncture treatment for chronic arthritis (she had damaged her cruciate ligament when she was 7) and was really impressed by the benefit she got from it. She passed away at the age of 16yrs without needing any anti-inflammatories! I decided to retrain to be able to perform acupuncture myself after my own horse, an ex-racehorse, began to really struggle with generalised muscle tightness and back pain. He is not a candidate for long-term anti-inflammatory medication and was too sore to tolerate even the most basic suppling and bending exercises. I thought acupuncture might help- and it did! I use acupuncture to treat a variety of musculo-skeletal problems, spinal and neurological conditions, osteoarthritis and inflammation, to help manage pain and aid in rehabilitation. It can also help improve mobility and suppleness by relaxing the muscles and fascia and also by reducing pain. Unlike many vets, I ONLY do acupuncture , so all my cases are acupuncture cases. I made this career choice because I want my practice to help animals by reducing their need for medication and improve their quality of life. Not every condition is suitable for acupuncture treatment, and not every animal will respond to it. However, my own experience over the last 3yrs suggests it can help in a wide variety of conditions. Acupuncture can help with horses and dogs with chronic lameness who are not completely pain free on medication or who cannot tolerate medication very well. I work closely with your usual vet (as well as physiotherapists, hydrotherapists etc) so we can tailor the treatment and manage the condition specifically for your animal's particular individual needs. If you think your animal may benefit from acupuncture please get in touch, or speak to your vet about it. I work with a number of local vets and provide treatment either at their practice or in your own home, stables or farm.

Let's talk about cats! You might be surprised to hear that they tolerate acupuncture really well. This gorgeous boy has been diagnosed with feline hyperaesthesia syndrome. A condition with a sudden onset of pain and occasionally self-trauma. It is difficult to treat as the cause is often unknown. Nsaids and gabapentin have been used but are difficult to get cats to take. Especially gabapentin as it is really bitter tasting. Nothing had helped him, but four acupuncture sessions later, and he's back to his normal playful self!

Hi all, just a quick video about back problems in dogs, especially dachshunds! I mention using acupuncture as a preventative measure. This is because the dogs I treat for back pain, have over the years, recovered and don't suffer repeat episodes. But there are many variables that impact this and so acupuncture alone is not the only thing to do to help your dog's back.

Find out who’s behind P2P Veterinary Acupuncture

Hi my name is Avril and I’m a qualified veterinary surgeon. In the 20 years I’ve been qualified I have successfully managed to avoid Facebook - so bear with me while I get to grips with it!

I worked in general practice for over 10 years before moving to work in the Vet School at the University of Liverpool. I was a senior lecturer and senior tutor at the Vet School until August 2018 when I left to retrain as a veterinary acupuncturist.

My fascination in acupuncture began when I had acupuncture myself for chronic neck and shoulder pain in 2006. My old dog then had acupuncture for chronic arthritis in 2007. Both of us found real benefits in the treatment and neither of us required further medication after the course of acupuncture.
