Dr Dietrich von Schweinitz

Dr Dietrich Graf von Schweinitz
DVM BSc MRCVS
Certified Vet Acupuncturist (IVAS)

A University of Georgia DVM graduate in 1982, Dietrich first practiced in Maryland and moved to the UK founding an equine practice in 1989. His acupuncture interest began in the USA and he gained International Vet. Acupuncture Society certificate in 1998. He’s a Past President of the Association of British Veterinary Acupuncturists and its Education Director and runs a referral acupuncture practice. He published pioneering research into the thermographic monitoring of acupuncture responses, and needle electromyographic recordings of myofascial trigger points in horses (Acupuncture in Medicine, & Vet Clinics of NA, Equine Practice) and authored “Electro-acupuncture for nerve injury in the horse” in EVE 2014, and “Acupuncture for pain control” in Robinson & Sprayberry’s Current Therapy in Equine Medicine, 7th ed.
 
His topics of interest as a speaker include acupuncture and pain recognition in horses.

The bike interest started at university with a Triumph Bonneville and then a Norton Commando and once the vet career and a family started that party came to an end – only to be revived during the great mid life crisis! Dietrich joined the tour for HP5 and enjoys the camaraderie and to the cause.

Dietrich rides a Commando 850 in good weather and a BMW 1200RT in any weather.

We would love to keep in touch with you!
