Electroacupuncture can be life changing for headshakers. Treatment is minimal invasive and can be done in the yard.
🐎Since 2018, RVC Equine has been treating trigeminal nerve-mediated headshaking (TMHS), a painful condition that causes uncontrollable head flicking in horses and can lead to euthanasia in severe cases.
Although there is no cure, research led by Professor Bettina Dunkel, Head of RVC Equine has shown that electroacupuncture is well-tolerated, with minimal complications and significant improvement in many horses.
Thanks to your support, we were able to fund the specialist electroacupuncture equipment that advances equine care through research.
