Bespoke Arthritis Management Programmes

Comprehensive mobility consultations including:

Full musculoskeletal examination
Objective gait analysis
Pain scoring and validated outcome measures
Individualised treatment planning
Long-term mobility strategy

Programmes are tailored for both dogs and cats.

Orthobiologic Therapies for Osteoarthritis

Advanced intra-articular therapies including:

Hydrogels
Stem cell treatments

These therapies aim to:

Improve joint environment
Reduce inflammation
Enhance comfort
Preserve function

All treatment decisions are guided by measurable functional data.

Longitudinal Gait Monitoring

One assessment provides insight.
Repeated assessments provide clarity.

We offer structured follow-up gait analysis to:

Track response to injections or medication changes
Monitor post-surgical patients for arthritis development
Assess progression of chronic joint disease
Support evidence-based treatment adjustment

Data-driven monitoring reduces guesswork and improves outcomes.

Post-Surgical Mobility Planning

Orthopaedic surgery changes biomechanics.

We monitor for:

Compensatory overload
Contralateral limb stress
Early arthritic change
Subtle asymmetry development

This proactive approach helps protect long-term mobility and prevent secondary degeneration. Where there is residual pain after surgery, or where arthritis has progressed, our approaches can maximise comfort through minimally invasive procedures.

Holistic & Multimodal Pain Management

Pain is rarely one-dimensional.

We combine:

Pharmacological therapy
Orthobiologic treatments
Lumbosacral pain management
Weight optimisation
Lifestyle modification
Exercise management
Environmental adaptation

Every plan is tailored, measurable, and reviewed objectively.

Behaviour & Pain Connection

Pain can present as:

Irritability
Reduced tolerance
Withdrawal
Altered activity levels

Objective gait analysis can help identify potential musculoskeletal contributors to behavioural change, supporting a more compassionate and comprehensive case assessment. We recognise that many of these cases may not be able to be either safely or meaningfully examined but with our stress free approach a huge amount of information can still be obtained to help guide decision making. Providing relief from pain can help get your pet headed back to their old self.
