Community acupuncture as an animal model

I wanted to take some time to highlight my version of community acupuncture. I realize some people may not be familiar with the general concept. And, I’m not certain that it has been done with animals. I wish to not only provide more accessible care, but also create an environment that promotes learning and healing in community.
