INTEGRATIVE MANAGEMENT FOR CHRONIC PAIN; HOW TO COMBINE ACUPUNCTURE WITH OTHER TREATMENT MODALITES FOR RATIONAL PAIN MANAGEMENT IN DOGS AND CATS

摘要

The focus of this lecture will be to demonstrate how to practically apply the principles of integrated and multi-modal pain control discussed in the previous lecture. We will be discussing 3 chronic pain cases that most practitioners could encounter in practice. Each case will be considered as a new patient being examined in the clinic, with a discussion of how to approach the case, how to formulate a treatment plan, and how to evaluate the ongoing management of the patient.
