Here's a link to my vet's website - actually this will take you to a testimonial page & 2 different owners talk about back problems being resolved with acupuncture instead of suregery: http://www.apvet.com/testimonials.html
His site has some good general information - you could even call him - he is a great guy and could give you some help, He has traveled the world presenting to other vets & may be able to refer you to someone in your area

Check him out and also these 2 sites - http://www.aava.org/ or http://www.ivas.org/
on both of these you can search for someone in your area
Thanks for the links and advice! I looked at those sites and from there, did a search for an acupuncturist in ND. There is only one and he is, I think, 5 hours away. Darn. I was hoping my chiropractor could do acupuncture on Kirby, but I guess she only adjusts dogs. I suppose there's special training involved for dogs. She has helped me many times with acupuncture and I'm a believer in it!
