Arthritis, Mobility & Pain Management

Helping pets move comfortably at every stage of life.

Arthritis is a progressive condition that can affect a pet's comfort, mobility, and quality of life. It can develop because of previous orthopedic injuries or surgeries, developmental joint disorders, chronic joint instability, or the normal wear and tear associated with aging. While arthritis cannot always be reversed, early recognition and comprehensive management can help reduce discomfort, preserve mobility, and maintain an active quality of life.

Our surgeons and team take a comprehensive approach to managing arthritis and chronic orthopedic pain. We tailor treatment to each pet, based on the joints involved, how advanced the disease is, the signs we see, activity level, and your goals. Our approach may combine medications, joint injections, physical rehabilitation, activity modification, weight management, and other supportive therapies to address pain from multiple angles.

Joint Injections

For select patients, joint injections can be an important component of arthritis and joint disease management. These treatments deliver therapeutic products directly into the affected joint and may help reduce inflammation, improve the joint environment, or support joint comfort and function.

We offer Hyaluronic Acid and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) joint injections. The appropriate treatment depends on the joint, the underlying disease, and the goals for the therapy. Joint injections are one part of a multimodal approach and will be used alongside other treatments.

Maintaining Mobility

Managing arthritis is more than controlling pain. Maintaining muscle strength, joint mobility, and appropriate activity can help pets continue to use their affected limbs comfortably. Physical rehabilitation can incorporate therapeutic exercises and other modalities designed to improve strength, mobility, balance, and overall function.

Our team works with Madison Canine Rehab and Acupuncture to develop practical activity and rehabilitation recommendations to help each patient and their families.

Individualized Pain Management

Chronic orthopedic pain can change over time, which is why ongoing assessment is an important part of arthritis care. Rather than relying on a single treatment, our team uses a multimodal approach, combining appropriate therapies to address pain and mobility from different directions. Regular reassessment allows treatment plans to be adjusted as the disease progresses or the patient's response changes.

Our Goal: Comfortable, Functional Movement

Whether your pet is experiencing early joint disease, advanced osteoarthritis, or chronic pain following an orthopedic injury, our goal is to help them remain comfortable, mobile, and engaged in the activities they enjoy.
