Chronic Arthritis

Probably the most common source of chronic pain in the dog is arthritis. Arthritis occurs secondary to genetically poorly formed joints (was with Canine Hip Dysplasia), or as the result of sports injuries endured over the lifetime of the animal.

Boulder's Natural Animal offers many solutions for the chronic pain and stiffness associated with chronic arthritis, and has given many dogs a new lease on life.

Acupuncture is one of the most effective means of pain management for arthritis, and combining acupuncture therapies with the appropriate herbs, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, massage and physical therapy has shown itself to be very effective in the management of chronic arthritis.
