The objective of this paper was to analyze the use of acupuncture in the motor rehabilitation of wild animals, through a survey of bibliographic references on the subject. The techniques observed were needling, laserpuncture, electroacupuncture and moxibustion. Case reports of motor disorders and the respective species affected were analyzed: pododermatitis (Haliaeetus leucocephalus and Oryctolagus cuniculus), paralysis (Geochelone carbonaria, Ramphastos toco, Spheniscus demersus, Vulpes vulpes), spinal trauma (Tupinambis merianae), intervertebral disc disease (Cynomys ludovicianus), degenerative joint disease (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and fractures (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Acupuncture has proven effective in promoting analgesia and neuromodulation and reducing inflammation, being an important ally in the treatment of neuropathies and pathologies of the locomotor system. Thus, it is possible to verify that the use of acupuncture in locomotor diseases has optimized the time, recovery and cure process, besides providing a better quality of life to wild patients.
