Acupuncture in Neuromuscular Lesions of Animals
(British Medical Acupuncture Society, 1999) Altug, M.E.; Tekeoglu, I.; Alkan, I.; Atasoy, N.; Keles, I.
Acupuncture treatments are described in a dog with thoracic disc herniation, a cat with spinal injury, a dog with neurological disorders caused by cerebral contusion and two cross-bred calves with spastic paresis. The beneficial effects of acupuncture are reported: notably improvements in the extensor thrust, patella and coccygeal reflexes, balance, defaecation and micturition.
The Effects of Peroneus Longus Trigger Poin Stimulation on the Pain Threshold in Dogs
(2010) Altug, M.E.; Tas, A.
The results of this study demonstrate that peroneus longus trigger point stimulation has a powerful analgesic effect, and increased algometric pain threshold without any adverse effect in the measured physiological parameters. Consequently, it may be suggested that only trigger point stimulation or its combination with the other analgesic or sedative drugs will be used effectively in alleviating painful conditions in dogs.
