Description

Translate current OA science into actionable treatment protocols for clinical practice

With an estimated forty percent of dogs affected by osteoarthritis pain, veterinarians need practical guidance that converts complex pathophysiology into effective clinical protocols. Canine Osteoarthritis and Chronic Pain delivers evidence-based strategies for identifying subtle pain indicators and developing tailored treatment plans. Board-certified surgeon and rehabilitation specialist Kristin Kirkby Shaw and general practitioner co-editor Hannah Capon provide actionable frameworks for busy practitioners.

This resource covers OA pathophysiology, traditional and emerging treatment modalities, and multimodal management approaches grounded in current evidence. Practitioners gain access to downloadable PDFs, instructional videos, questionnaires, and client handouts for seamless workflow integration. The book includes algorithms for personalized treatment planning and client engagement tools featuring educational videos and home exercises for strengthening arthritic limbs.

Readers will also find::

  • Comprehensive examination protocols and diagnostic criteria for identifying pain indicators that may otherwise go undetected in clinical settings
  • Treatment decision-making frameworks that balance optimal patient care with financial considerations and client compliance in general practice
  • Client communication tools including educational resources and handouts that improve treatment adherence and strengthen the veterinarian-client partnership
  • Evidence-based guidelines incorporating the latest research on OA pathophysiology, pharmacological interventions, and rehabilitation techniques for canine patients
  • Practical resources for engaging the entire veterinary healthcare team in delivering coordinated, multimodal osteoarthritis management strategies

Designed for primary care veterinarians, veterinary specialists caring for dogs with joint disease, veterinary students, and technicians involved in canine pain management, this practical guidebook transforms complex scientific knowledge into actionable clinical strategies. Whether developing treatment plans or engaging clients in home care, practitioners gain the tools needed for compassionate, effective OA management.
