At Countryside Equine Hospital, we believe in providing the most comprehensive care for your horse—whether they’re a high-level athlete, a trusted trail companion, or a retired pasture friend. That’s why we are thrilled to offer equine acupuncture, a time-tested therapy that promotes healing, balance, and overall well-being.
This ancient practice has been used for thousands of years to enhance health and performance, and it is now backed by modern veterinary science. Dr. Zoe Latimer, our experienced equine veterinarian, combines her deep understanding of equine physiology with the precise application of acupuncture to help horses feel and perform their best. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic discomfort, or simply in need of a natural boost, acupuncture can be a powerful addition to their care plan.

What is Equine Acupuncture?
Equine acupuncture is a holistic therapy that stimulates your horse's natural healing abilities. By gently inserting fine needles into specific acupressure points, we restore balance, relieve discomfort, and enhance overall well-being.
How It Works:
Precise Placement
Thin acupuncture needles are inserted at specific acupressure points along the horse's meridians, or energy channels.
Targeted Stimulation
These points correspond to different organs, systems, and musculoskeletal structures.
Healing Response
The placement of needles stimulates the release of pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances from the brain, promoting natural healing.
Acupuncture Benefits for Your Horse’s Health
Equine acupuncture offers numerous benefits to improve your horse’s overall health and performance:

Reduce joint pain, muscle tension, and enhance mobility
Support Respiratory Health

What to Expect
Every horse responds differently to treatment, but many owners report noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. The timeframe for results varies based on the condition being treated and your horse’s overall health. Some horses experience immediate benefits, while others may require multiple sessions for significant progress. Dr. Latimer closely monitors your horse’s response and provides personalized recommendations for ongoing care.
