recognition and desire to assist the
AAVA in their goal to make acupuncture
a universal, validated treatment choice.
History
The American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture (AAVA) was formed in 1998 in response to the restructuring of the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). Over the years IVAS has grown to become a truly international organization. The AAVA was formed to meet the needs of American veterinary acupuncturists. The AAVA is an affiliate organization, and is fully recognized by IVAS.
AAVA Mission Statement
“To promote the art and science of Veterinary Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, to further the professional development of our members, to encourage the education of veterinarians in Veterinary Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and to provide leadership and resources in the United States for the advancement of these disciplines.”
About Veterinary Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been successfully used to treat animals for nearly 4,000 years in China. Ancient Chinese medical philosophy believes that illness, pain and disease are a result of an imbalance of energy in the body. Acupuncture is believed to balance this energy and thereby assist the body in remaining healthy, i. e., pain-free and disease-free. Although there has been a significant amount of scientific study in regards to understanding the mechanisms of actions with the use of acupuncture in the treatment of human patients, there have not been enough such studies in veterinary medicine.
About the AAVA Pet Memorial Fund
The AAVA Pet Memorial Fund contributions will be specifically allocated to this much needed scientific study. It is imperative that we substantiate the remarkable therapeutic effects of this ancient healing method in order to further its acceptance and validate its tremendous healing effect.
