Acupuncture Tails

* "These real-life stories of Jane's patients, both two-legged and four-legged, are an absorbing, interesting and fun read for everyone. They are also educational and informative for anyone in the veterinary and medical fields. Even with all my years of experience using acupuncture to treat both animals and humans, I was able to glean some new and helpful tips from this book."
Dr Ann Hutchison BVMS MRCVS CCRT MBAcC Veterinary & human acupuncturist

* "I have seen the huge benefit of acupuncture to many animals, including my own dog that I have referred to Jane over the last seventeen years. I have been inspired to add acupuncture to my clinical skills and have recently trained in acupuncture. I'm excited to continue Jane's legacy in Fife." Rachel Rogers-veterinary surgeon & Edinburgh University. (Dick) Vet School clinical tutor in practice at Inglis Vets

* "We were amazed when our Yorkshire Terrier Kizi - who had a liver condition - improved to the extent that she didn't
need frequent hospitalisation!"

* "When my Spaniel Oz was nearly put to sleep due to his unmanageable back pain - having exhausted all the painkiller options - we tried it. He was restored and we are forever grateful."

* "When I saw how mobile and full of energy my Labrador Oscar was after starting acupuncture for his osteoarthritis, I wanted to try it for myself - it has really helped me cope with my polymyalgia and reduced the need for so much medication (for us both)."

* "After 18 months with practically no sense of smell or taste, I felt miserable - until there was an almost immediate return with acupuncture. After a few sessions I got them back 95% and I'm so happy! My ENT consultant was amazed!"

* "I was worried I would become hooked on opiates again; now I only need to take occasional medication - a weight has been lifted off me and I'm getting great nights' sleep."

* "The relief from the headaches I got from acupuncture helped me think more clearly - therefore I could reassess my job
and lifestyle and make changes."

* "Definitely inspiring and great to read about real cases and the effect of acupuncture on real lives, rather than the constant cold emotionless numbers from trials and statistics." Duncan Lawler-Consultant physiotherapist and acupuncturist, Chair of British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) Professional Services & author of Western Medical Acupuncture Protocols for Chronic Pain

* "Sometimes it feels as though the benefits of Petra's acupuncture session extend beyond the dog herself - with such a tactile treatment and all of us being hands on, there is definitely the sense of a communal experience."
