Treatment of Facial Nerve Paralysis with Electroacupuncture
Facial nerve paralysis usually occurs after trauma; from a kick, pulling back, lying down with a halter on or any other blunt trauma to the face. The facial nerve is very superficial and damage to the nerve, usually on one side, can cause a droopy ear, eyelid, and lower lip, along with inability to blink on the side of the injury.
Treating with electroacupuncture in the acute phase can lead to a complete resolution of the symptoms. In the video, notice how the electroacupuncture stimulates the facial nerve and causes the eye to blink. This is a good indicator that the nerve still has function and paralysis can resolve.
Dr. Rydgig has successfully treated facial nerve paralysis, radial nerve paralysis and suprascapular nerve damage (Sweeney) with electroacupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) for Eye Disease

There are many eye diseases that affect the horse. There is trauma, keratitis, recurrent uveitis, glaucoma, cataracts, and neoplasia. Conventional medicine does not often differ in the main treatment plan and veterinarians are often treating the branch of the disease rather than the root. In TCVM there may be one disease with multiple roots or multiple problems with the same root. The goal of the TCVM doctor is to treat the acute problem, the branch and then treat the root of the eye disease. By treating the root, you are more likely to decrease or eliminate the recurrence of many ocular diseases.
If your horse has an eye injury/disease, you may want to include your veterinary acupuncturist in the treatment plan, especially in chronic cases.

Laminitis: It Takes A Village

When a horse is diagnosed with Laminitis, they need a village to help them heal. This includes a dedicated owner, their veterinarian and farrier. What many do not know is that having a veterinary acupuncturist on the team, from the beginning, can make all the difference in their treatment outcome.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), no two laminitis cases are the same. There are varied factors that can cause laminitis but depending on what that cause may be, a TCVM acupuncturist will treat specifically for that cause and the horse’s response to that cause. The simple explanation is that there are meridians (pathways) that Qi (energy) flow through in the body. If there is a free flow of Qi, there is no pain. If there is pain, there must be a blockage of Qi flowing. The goal of TCVM is to clear the blockage so Qi can flow freely.

If caught early, in the acute stages (Liver Heat-Toxin with local Qi-Blood Stagnation), laminitis has a much better chance of resolving. With chronic cases (Local Qi-Blood Stagnation with Yin, Qi, or Heat Deficiency), there can be resolution, but it takes that dedicated team. Dr. Linda Rydgig uses a combination of acupuncture, laser, and herbal therapy in her treatments of acute and chronic cases. She has chronic cases that have gone on to live comfortably for many years with intermittent acupuncture treatments. She works closely with the primary veterinarian, farrier, and owner to give the horse the best possible chance of healing.

If your horse is diagnosed with Laminitis, please check in with Dr. Rydgig to make sure you do not miss an important part of the treatment plan.

Acupuncture can successfully treat muscle atrophy after nerve damage.
(Eastern diagnosis was Qi Deficiency with Stagnation)
After conventional western medicine did not find a resolution to this horses gluteal muscle atrophy, acupuncture treatment was recommended.
With any type of nerve trauma, you will get local Qi and blood stagnation. This will lead to a local Deficiency. Muscle atrophy, like this horse had, is a sign of Qi Deficiency.
It is best to start treatment immediately after the injury and multiple treatments are needed. If treatment is delayed and the atrophy has been present longer than a year, the chance of full recovery is slim. With any nerve injury, Electroacupuncture is the optimum treatment.
In the photos you can see the left side gluteal muscles are quite atrophied and after 14 treatments you can see the diﬀerence. Dr. Rydgig uses electroacupuncture and dry needle acupuncture to successfully resolve gluteal muscle atrophy.
If your horse has had any type of nerve damage, check in with Dr. Rydgig at Progressive Equine, to see if acupuncture would be beneficial.
