Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Veterinary acupuncture is a specialized branch of traditional medicine that applies acupuncture principles to promote health and healing in animals. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), this therapy stimulates specific acupuncture points to restore balance, relieve pain, and improve physiological function in companion animals, livestock, and performance animals. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the theory, clinical applications, and growing acceptance of veterinary acupuncture.

The session will cover acupuncture techniques used in animals, safety considerations, and treatment protocols for musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, pain management, and rehabilitation. Discussions will also highlight research evidence, case studies, and integration of veterinary acupuncture with conventional veterinary care. By bringing together veterinarians, researchers, and practitioners, this session aims to promote ethical, evidence-based, and holistic approaches to animal healthcare worldwide.
