  • Title: Electro-acupuncture and Chinese herbs for treatment of cervical intervertebral disk disease in a dog.
    Author: Hayashi AM, Matera JM, da Silva TS, Pinto AC, Cortopassi SR.
    Journal: J Vet Sci; 2007 Mar; 8(1):95-8. PubMed ID: 17322780.
    Abstract:
    A non-ambulatory dog with tetraparesis following a pain episode that had evolved over 2 months was submitted for medical treatment and diagnosed with intervertebral disk disease at C3-C4 and dorsal extradural compression at C1-C2 and C3-C4 using myelography and computed tomography. The dog experienced ambulation recovery after 15 days of treatment with only electroacupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, with marked improvement occurring after only 10 treatments. Six months of followup demonstrated that the dog was stable and had no recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, it was concluded that the combination of electroacupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine was responsible for motor rehabilitation.
