Equine Acupuncture Referrals
Sue Devereux
Sue has always had a special interest in horses and she qualified as a vet from Bristol University in 1983. After many years in equine practice she was introduced to acupuncture by her medical colleagues after experiencing a riding injury that became progressively more debilitating, despite the best of medical care. After 4 years of chronic, severe neck pain that was not helped by painkillers, treatment with acupuncture was so effective that within 3 months she was virtually pain free.
Following this experience, Sue joined The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and enrolled on a one year course to study acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in some depth. In 2000 she passed the written and practical Diploma examinations and was certified as a veterinary acupuncturist.
This was just the start of her interest in holistic medicine which encompasses complementary therapies that include acupuncture, chiropractic, osteopathy, physiotherapy and healing. These treatments are frequently integrated into her work to complement conventional veterinary medicine
Sue lives and works in the Salisbury area where she accepts referrals for acupuncture. Her special interest is the recognition of chronic musculoskeletal pain in horses and ponies.
She is the author of the best-selling book 'The Veterinary Care of the Horse'.
