🌿 Unlocking Calm: A Closer Look at GV-20 🌿

Did you know Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) includes specific acupuncture points that can help calm your pet?

One of the most fascinating is GV-20, part of the Governing Vessel channel. Located right on the top of the head—between the ear canals in dogs—GV-20 is often called the Permission or Balance point.

✨ Why it matters:
GV-20 is used to support calmness and emotional balance. It’s commonly chosen in treatments for spinal issues, anxiety, and conditions involving Shen disturbance (the TCVM term for emotional or mental unrest).

🩺 How it’s used:
Veterinary acupuncturists stimulate GV-20 using techniques like dry needling, aquapuncture, or electro-acupuncture across many species, including dogs, cats, horses, and exotic animals.

💆‍♀️ For pet parents:
While needles are best left to the pros, the location of GV-20 makes it ideal for gentle massage or Tui-na (TCVM bodywork). Softly massaging this point may offer a soothing effect for your animal.

Learning about GV-20 gives us a glimpse into how TCVM supports not just physical health, but emotional well-being too.

✨ Always consult your veterinarian or a certified veterinary acupuncturist before trying new treatments.

🐶✨ A Sweet Moment ✨🐾

This lovely girl was seen in the comfort of her home for a biomechanical assessment and treatment — she’s been dealing with muscle loss, stiffness in her back legs, and compensatory tension through her spine and shoulders.

With a combination of gentle osteopathic techniques, chiropractic, myofascial release, and targeted laser therapy, we worked to restore comfort and improve her mobility 💛

Later that afternoon, her mum sent a beautiful message:

“She got up onto the window table today to greet me when I came home — she hasn’t done that in 6 months! She must be feeling really good.”

Moments like this are everything ❤ and why I love what I do.

When pets move more freely, they can truly enjoy life again — greeting their favourite people, claiming their favourite spots, and being part of the action.

If your dog is slowing down, feeling sore, or just not quite themselves, biomechanical medicine might be the missing piece.

🌿 Did you know? 🌿
Dr. Shaan is expanding her toolkit by studying Veterinary Acupuncture through Chi University, with a focus on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM).

This month, she attended her first in-person workshop in Adelaide, learning from some incredible tutors and fellow students. From understanding ancient meridians to hands-on acupuncture techniques, it was an inspiring start to this new journey. 🐾✨

Dr. Shaan is excited to continue her studies and gradually integrate acupuncture into her treatments—offering even more ways to support your pets’ health and comfort, naturally.

Stay tuned as she shares what she learns along the way!

“Teach a Sit Before Meals—It’s a Game Changer”

Teach your pet to sit before meals— it’s simple, but powerful. It creates calm around food, builds impulse control, and sets the tone for polite behavior in any setting. Once they get this down pat, it helps in so many other settings too—at the vet, staying safe on the road and when meeting other dogs. One practice, and benefits are endless!
