Arthritis Care And Pain Management Resources For Veterinary Professionals

Orthopedic & Musculoskeletal

During the 2022 VetVine Arthritis Summit there were questions about where veterinarians can learn more (to get additional training or Certification) and expand in their arthritis and pain management care. We're pleased to provide you links to these resources as shared by Dr. Marie Bartling:

Continuing education for general practitioners: 
 
1.  IVAPM - International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management

3.  University of Tennessee rehab

5.  Curacore acupuncture

6.  Options for Animals Chiropractic Care

7.  Orthopedic exam - CSU Veterinary CE
 
8.  Shockwave training - there is some through each company

9.  Refer to docs in the AARV or IVAPM list of practitioners
 
10.  Veterinary Surgeons with an orthopedic focus have non-surgical solutions!!  Joint injections etc.
 
11.  Acupuncture providers - often have refined skills
 
12.  Animal Chiropractic providers
 

All will have different specialties, all have been trained in finding pain, and will help if they can!
