Feline Osteoarthritis is observed to occur with increasing frequency as a cat ages. A multimodal approach to therapy is recommended to maintain quality of life, this may include anti-inflammatories, analgesics, weight management, physical rehabilitation, nutraceuticals, environmental modifications, and other modalities such as acupuncture and cold laser.
Saam acupuncture is a traditional Korean acupuncture system distinguished by selecting a small number of acupuncture points based on patterns of deficiency or excess within specific organ systems, with the goal of supporting the body's self-regulating and healing mechanisms. Join Dr Liane Sperlich as she details a case where Saam acupuncture is used to improve the quality of life in a feline patient with osteoarthritis. She will also provide an overview of Saam acupuncture and its use in animals.
Veterinary acupuncturists can benefit greatly from utilizing Saam acupuncture in practice. Few needles are required, and the patient provides rapid feedback within the therapeutic session. This provides another useful “tool in the toolbox” in treatment and management of animal patients.
