Current trends in rehabilitative and integrative medicine
In this dvm360® interview, Dr Leilani Alvarez shares what to keep on your radar for 2023 and beyond
There are a plethora of advancements being made in the rehabilitative and integrative medicine space. In a dvm360® interview, Leilani Alvarez, DVM, DACVSMR, CVA, CCRT, faculty for the Directions in Veterinary Medicine (DIVM) symposium in Miami, Florida, highlights some of these, including anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibodies, veterinary orthotics and prosthetics, and more.
The following is a partial transcript of the video.
Leilani Alvarez, DVM, DACVSMR, CVA, CCRT: The other area that I've seen a lot of growth in is veterinary orthotics and prosthetics (VOPs). We use them a lot in our department, but I'm getting a lot more referrals from people. So I think people are recognizing that, "Oh, maybe we don't need to amputate that leg, maybe we can actually still keep the function of that leg."
