Resumo

Holistic approach in veterinary has gained popularity in recent years. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of acupuncture (AP) in animals and to determine its safety and efficacy. This review work aimed to describe AP in animals, regarding the use in Veterinary Medicine, historical background, theoretical foundations, techniques and tools for animals, AP points and meridians and physiological mechanisms of AP in animals. Although AP use in animals has been practiced for thousands of years, scientifically efficacy based studies are still lacking in the research community. This ancient traditional Chinese method involves inserting thin needles in specific acupoints to induce vital energy balance across skin meridians to produce biological responses from the nervous system. Understand the impact and potential healing powers that exist within these vital points is crucial, because AP can positively influence in health and well-being of animals. Musculoskeletal pain, respiratory issues, reproductive and metabolic disorders are the most frequent described AP treatments in veterinary practice. With proper application, AP can be a valuable tool in treating various health conditions and promoting well-being. It is important to consider potential risks, as well other treatment protocols and consult with a qualified veterinary before undergoing AP treatment.
