📞 Pain management and rehabilitation in Vantaa: 010 739 9130
Pain management has taken huge strides in veterinary medicine in recent years. No longer do we just prescribe painkillers and hope for the best. Now we treat the pain variously (multimodally), which means combining several different means to get the best effect.
The goal is always to improve the quality of life of the pet: painless sleep, cheerful movement and good appetite.
Modern drug therapies
Alongside traditional anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), new, safe alternatives for long-term use have emerged.
1. Biologicals (Librela & Solensia)
This has been a revolution in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
- Librela (dogs) & Solensia (cats): Once a month, injectable antibody therapy, which blocks the passage of the pain signal in the nervous system.
- Advantages: Does not burden the liver or kidneys like traditional medicines, so ideal for the elderly. The power is often amazing.
2. Nerve pain relievers
Gabapentin, for example, helps with chronic, “electrical” nerve pain.
Drug-free treatment and physiotherapy
The drug takes the pain away, but physiotherapy corrects the cause and maintains mobility.
- Laser treatment: Therapeutic laser reduces inflammation and pain in the tissues. Painless and fast treatment.
- Water Treadmill: An excellent way to strengthen muscles without straining sore joints.
- Acupuncture: Helps with muscle tension and chronic pain.
