Dr. Ansley has been working toward becoming certified in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, (TCVM), at the Chi Institute in Reddick, FL. By integrating TCVM into his knowledge of Western veterinary medicine, he hopes to relieve pain, both chronic and acute, in patients for whom traditional medications may be risky or even damaging to their health.

Dry needle, aqua-acupuncture, and electro-acupunc-ture are currently available following consultation and determination that TCVM is a reasonable course to pursue. Herbal supplements, for appropriate purposes, will soon become available for patients on acupuncture treatments.
