Weight Control
Proper weight management helps reduce stress on joints while promoting greater energy and activity. Maintaining a healthy weight helps keep joints limber and muscles strong.
Exercise
Regular physical activity helps with appropriate weight control. Additionally, low impact exercise helps benefit dogs with advanced OA.
Physical Rehabilitation
Physical rehabilitation techniques relieve pain, help joint mobility and muscle strength, and promote cartilage, tendon and ligament health.
Chondroprotectant
Chondroprotectants promote healthy joint lubrication and help repair damaged cartilage.
Adjunct Therapies
Additional therapies may support the primary tools for managing chronic pain and disability associated with OA.
