Many orthopedic conditions result in decreased mobility, quality of life, and lameness in small animal patients. The objective of this lecture is to provide the attendee with an overview of pain management options that can be used in addition to traditional methods. The lecture covers a wide variety of orthopedic conditions using them as examples to discuss strategies such as orthotics, shock wave therapy, joint injections, and other pharmacological solutions.
