Dog Acupressure for Elbow Arthritis: Arm Three Miles

Video Transcript

"The next point we're going to do is arm three miles, or large intestine 10. And this is just straight down from the point we just worked. You're following in the crease along there and you're going to find your finger falling into this space. This one is specifically good for pain in the elbow. It's one you want to work particularly well on leg that is arthritic. You can work it on the other leg and it will help with somewhat with the stiffness. But it's most important to do it on the leg with the actual dysplasia or arthritis. And this is going to be your pain relief point. This will be one that, if the dog is, if you're just starting to work with your dog, on this particular elbow, you may find that he will object to it. And you will notice that Coco doesn't mind a bit. She's quite happy to rest through this. But, if this point is really, really painful, skip that. Do some massage in the area and then, after you've done two or three general sessions, try using that point one more time and that should work out just fine. But if you can work it, it's a really great one for relieving the pain."
