In the past 20 years, acupuncture has been utilized as an alternative therapy for equine laminitis despite a lack of clinical evidence to support its effectiveness. A systematic review conducted by Indonesian and Turkish researchers aimed to comprehensively investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for laminitis in horses. Seven studies were selected for meta-analysis, with the results indicating that acupuncture improves horses with laminitis (Odds Ratio = 2.254; 95% CI = 1.167–4.355) and has a favorable effect on lameness scores (mean difference = −5.008; 95% CI = −8.094–−1.923). This research enhanced the clinical studies, demonstrating that twice-weekly acupuncture performed for four weeks consecutively can ameliorate lameness scores and a horse’s potential for recovery. These investigations have led to the implementation of dry needling, hemo-acupuncture, aqua-acupuncture, and electroacupuncture as alternate treatments for equine laminitis.

Dr Che is a wonderful vet I worked with for many years and highly recommend, has now commenced a mobile service on the Gold Coast. If you are wanting a mobile veterinarian who also provides complementary treatments (herbal medicines & acupuncture) and/or conventional veterinary services then I highly recommend Dr Che!

Very exciting !!

Hydrotherapy is considered a valuable adjunct to physiotherapy. Using the properties of water, such as buoyancy, resistance and hydrostatic pressure, allows us to reduce the impact on healing tissues and joints. We use an underwater treadmill to provide a safe environment for your dog to exercise and allows us to control parameters such as speed, water depth, resistance (jets) and inclines. 🌊

Benefits of hydrotherapy: 💙

🐾 Low-Impact Exercise
🐾 Increased joint movement
🐾 Muscle strengthening
🐾 Improved cardiovascular fitness
🐾 Pain Management
🐾 Weight Management

We offer hydrotherapy at our Burleigh location on the Gold Coast and are situated next door to a hydrotherapy centre in our Brisbane clinic.
