Maximizing Mobility in the Senior Patien...

Clinician's Brief
About this episode

When a pet owner mentions that their senior pet is “slowing down”, is that an expected sign of aging or an opportunity to ask more questions? In this episode of Clinician’s Brief Partner Podcast, host Dr. Beth chats with sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist Dr. Leilani Alvarez to get advice for navigating mobility in the aging patient. Dr. Alverez offers advice on when to initiate joint supplements, how to discuss pain with pet owners, and how to take a multimodal approach to the senior patient’s orthopedic health.
