Dr. Miriam “Mik” Chari brings a lifelong passion for horses and a commitment to exceptional veterinary care to her work with equine patients. A Georgia resident for more than 20 years, Mik earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine and completed ambulatory equine internships in Minnesota and Georgia. She has continued to expand her expertise through years of clinical practice and advanced education, becoming a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist through Chi University, with studies in Florida and Shanghai, China. Her background as a lifelong equestrian—including hunter/jumper riding and dressage—gives her a personal appreciation for the needs of both sport and companion horses. Equine acupuncture combines traditional Chinese veterinary medicine with modern clinical knowledge to stimulate the body's natural healing responses. Modern research validates that acupoint stimulation triggers the release of endorphins, serotonin, and cortisol. These biochemical changes modulate the nervous system, providing measurable pain relief and enhancing the horse's innate ability to heal. Mik offers acupuncture for a variety of conditions including performance recovery, injury rehabilitation, chronic inflammation, laminitis, osteoarthritis, equine asthma, immune system support, and anhidrosis (non-sweating). Thank you, Mik, for your expertise and individualized service to our GWIF horses!
