How does acute pain become chronic and how can we manage it (2021)
Overview
The management of chronic pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis, is becoming increasingly common in veterinary practice.
This webinar will explore the differences between acute and chronic pain, including how acute pain transitions into chronic pain.
Chronic pain cases can be challenging, but with a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms, clinicians can take a more logical and systematic approach to diagnosis and management—ultimately improving patient outcomes.
