Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 That is great that acupuncture is helping! Do you have an e-stim tank? I have no idea why it helps neuro patients, but subjectively it is quite amazing. Mine is a Vetsystems tank. I have used it for about 5 years and I like it better than localized e-stim. My acupuncturist has used the machine for doing e-stim on acupuncture sites, but I can honestly say I have NO idea why or how that works. Then my last thought is that Adequan given at acupuncture sites has an added benefit for the majority of dogs who can benefit from the acupuncture plus from the Adequan on their old joints! That would be considered an early morning brain unload I think!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Honestly Jeff, I do not know for sure! My acupuncturist says that the Adequan puts pressure on those acupuncture points as it absorbs… approximately 15-20 minutes, which is how long she would leave her needles in. The Adequan is absorbed normally and it’s mechanism of action does not change… it changes the viscosity of the joint fluid and it has an affinity for diseased cartilage sites… I’m sure others know more about it than I do, but it is my number one favorite drug based on results.
