Journal of American Veterinary Medicine shows acupuncture superior to surgery for certain paralysis

Our own experience with a Dachshund's profound paralysis was remarkable:

AVMA published studies:
Electroacupuncture also returns dogs to walking faster than western medicine alone, according to another recent JAVMA study (10 days versus 20-30 days), and with greater success (in this study 100% were able to walk without assistance after treatment vs. 66% of the dogs that did NOT have the acupuncture): http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/abs/10.2460/javma.231.6.913

Electro-acupuncture is significantly more succesful in treating paralysis than surgery, according to a new published AVMA study. 15 of 19 pets who received electro-acupuncture showed significant improvement, compared to 4 out of 10 who received surgery alone.
