Fifteen horses with chronic back pain for 1/2 to 9 years, who could not
function normally, who did not obtain any lasting improvement from
other previous treatments, were treated with acupuncture. The
treatments were 20 minutes of manual acupuncture. The average number of
treatments was 7.9 times administered at weekly intervals. After the
acupuncture treatments were completed, 13 of the 15 horses were able to
function normally.
