A MULTIMODAL APPROACH TO ARTHRITIS TREATMENT CONTINUED...
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) PRP injections leverage the body’s natural healing powers to improve joint health by improving the joint environment in a targeted way, not just systemically masking pain. These long-lasting injections can provide relief for months. New research, Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Dogs with Bilateral Hip Osteoarthritis, showed that PRP can improve pain and functional scores in police working dogs with bilateral moderate to severe hip OA, compared with a control group. Effects lasted for up to 6 months.

See How a Multimodal Approach Helped Cabela Cabela, a five-year-old Labrador Retriever benefitted from early arthritis intervention as a result of the findings of her stance analysis. She then received laser therapy, PRP treatments, and began a weight loss program to manage her condition. Watch now at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtqtaYb9gCk
Laser Therapy Laser therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) treatments target the mitochondria in damaged cells to increase blood flow, accelerate tissue repair, and decrease pain. Treatments are non-invasive, painless, and non-pharmacological .
INNOVATIONS IN COMBINATION CARE New research reveals that combination laser therapy and PRP treatment can achieve better results than either modality on their own. 3 This study, A Preliminary Report on the Combined Effect of Intra-Articular Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections and Photobiomodulation in Canine Osteoarthritis, found that combining these two therapies produced greater, longer-lasting improvements.
