PrintEast Meets West: Acupuncture For a "Simply Sound Horse"
Dr. Shari Silverman, VMD
When a horse is lame, an owner knows that the horse needs treatment for its discomfort. Likewise, a horse may be clinically sound but still have sore points throughout the body that are affecting and inhibiting its performance results.
A horse that is free from injury, damage, defect, disease, etc. is a healthy, sound horse. By balancing the fundamental requirements of equine well being – nutrition, performance, comfort and healthcare -- horses become stronger, heartier, and more competitive in their athletic endeavors; in other words, a simply sound horse.
Shari C. Silverman, VMD, provides veterinary exercise and rehabilitation consultations along with supplemental therapeutic medical practices to serve as a complement to traditional western-based veterinary healthcare. For an injured horse, chronically painful horse, or equine athlete, these treatment plans and wellness programs including acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, laser therapy, and myofacial release, restore structural integrity and equilibrium allowing the body to better preserve health, or in cases of injury or illness, heal itself. The concepts are simple – good horse management leads to a healthier, happier, sounder horse.
Dr. Silverman is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School of Medicine and Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians in Colorado, the only scientific acupuncture course in the U.S. available to veterinarians. Her practices are based on research and fact based medical techniques blending a scientific modern approach with the ancient medical practice developed centuries ago in China.
