Jing well points are the most superficial points of the channels.The polarity changes at the tips of the fingers from Yin to Yang and or vice versa, thus they are said to bring about an impactful transformation. This presentation will dive deep into all the applications of Ting points in small animal acupuncture.
4th hour Introduction to Balance method:
This is an overview of the Balance method but will provide a practical application of using the 12 magical points. When we needle we should utilize the Yin-Yang constant energy flow by imagining that the animal is divided into four quadrants and alternating the needles in a Yin-Yang manner. Balancing the energetic flow by demonstrating other global balance techniques will be demonstrated with clinical cases.

Programs
Acupuncture Training and Certification
The following associations and schools offer Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist training:
International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS)
Chi University
College of Integrative Veterinary Therapeutics (CIVT)
Curacore
These courses enable veterinarians to obtain expert level of knowledge about the history and understanding of acupuncture. They vary in their approach to teaching and only the first three offer training in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, while the last teaches acupuncture from a neuroanatomical point of view.
The courses for certification train students to perform acupuncture safely and accurately on all species. Becoming certified involves successful completion of these courses, a written and oral examination, case study presentations and many hours of practicum training alongside a certified veterinary acupuncturist. This provides the veterinarian with the confidence and skills required to perform acupuncture safely and effectively.
While this process is intensive and demanding, most veterinarians are able to work full time during certification. Support and continuing education are available through multiple associations throughout the whole career of the veterinarian.
