Highlighting how owners can manage their pet’s arthritis!

Physiotherapy being one therapy extremely beneficial for an arthritic patient:

- Laser Therapy
- Joint mobilisation
- Soft tissue mobilisation / Massage
- Remedial Exercise Prescription
- Advice for owners’s including exercises to do at home

We've spent this week answering some of your most frequently asked questions. Today we answer a big one.....

5. Can arthritis be cured?

Unfortunately there is currently no cure for arthritis. There is a lot of ongoing research into this important disease and new treatment and management options are coming to light all the time so perhaps one day this will change. However, until then we must rely on good management and careful monitoring of the disease so we can control the pain and slow it’s progression to give our dogs long and comfortable lives.

I am extremely pleased with Marley’s recovery following surgery to remove a mast cell tumour. Fortunately, the entire tumour was removed so I could therefore step in and treat using Laser Therapy.

6 weeks post-op and look at the results 😆

Well done to Marley for responding so well to treatment and the owner’s for being so attentive, keeping the wound nice & clean!
