Spinal Arthritis And Back Pain - Q&A

Orthopedic & Musculoskeletal

Back pain associated with spinal arthritis is common in our companion animals. Veterinary neurology expert Dr. Rebecca Windsor discussed this topic as part of our past Arthritis Summit and also addressed several questions submitted from audience members.

In this segment Dr. Windsor is joined by a panel of experts to address questions regarding the use of epidurals to manage pain and inflammation, heat for managing pain, and medical management with gabapentin, pregabalin, and ketamine.
