IA Intra Articular Joint Injections for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) and degenerative joint disease are painful inflammatory conditions that impact the comfort and mobility of your dog or cat. This impact can have lasting and life-changing consequences. Mobility is key for a healthy quality of life for our pets.
Management of Joint Pain is a Multi-pronged Approach
Reduce Pain
Reduce inflammation
Support joint health to improve the unhealthy joint affected by osteoarthritis (OA)
Strengthen muscles, improve balance to improve active mobility
Intra Articular (IA) Joint injections are another option for treatment and offer a direct, target approach to treating OA. Structural, non-pharmaceutical products carry a reduced risk for the system side effects of other treatments and can be combined safely with most oral medications.
At Pawsitive Strides Veterinary Rehabilitation we currently offer 2 different joint injections for Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease:
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers the prospect of improving the structure and function to accelerate healing of soft tissues ( tendon and ligament ) injuries and osteoarthritis naturally without subjecting the patient to significant risk. It promotes anti-inflammatory effects, pain reduction, and simultaneously stimulates repair.
