Acupuncture & Chiropractic W/ Amanda Cerniglia

In this episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of interviewing Amanda Cerniglia, a veterinarian who specializes in acupuncture and chiropractic care for animals, particularly horses. We were excited to dive into Amanda's extensive background and experience in alternative therapies and how they can benefit our beloved pets.

During our conversation, Amanda explained the principles of acupuncture, which involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote balance and treat various health issues. She shared how she assesses a horse's health by checking their pulse and tongue, helping to identify any imbalances that may exist. We were fascinated to learn how acupuncture can help with various conditions, such as pain management and metabolic disorders.

Amanda also talked about the importance of personalizing treatments based on each horse's individual needs and overall constitution. She introduced us to additional techniques like electrical stimulation and moxibustion that can enhance the effects of acupuncture. Both Alexis and I shared our personal experiences with acupuncture and chiropractic treatments for our own animals, describing the positive impacts we've seen and why we highly recommend these holistic options to our listeners.

We discussed how early intervention can significantly improve a horse's health and performance, making it an essential consideration for pet owners. Overall, we found this episode enlightening, and we hope it inspires our listeners to explore alternative therapies for their pets!
