Intra-Articular (Joint) Injections

Targeted Pain Relief for Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of chronic pain in dogs and cats. While oral medications and supplements can help, some patients benefit from direct treatment inside the affected joint.

Intra-articular injections deliver medication precisely where it’s needed — reducing inflammation, improving joint lubrication, and supporting healthier joint function.
