Pain Management
Pets experience pain just as humans can. The biggest difference is that pets are very good at hiding their pain so it often goes undiagnosed and treated. Pain can significantly affect their quality of life. Pain can be seen with arthritis, neck/back disc disease with nerve root pain, dental disease, internal disease, trauma, and cancer. Our pain management appointments include a complete patient assessment with short and long term analgesia planning. We have a lot of ways we can treat pain including acupuncture, cold laser, physical therapy, supplements and medications. Each patient is unique and our pain management plans are tailored to fit your pet.
