Equine Osteoarthritis

Discover the challenges and solutions for Equine Osteoarthritis (OA) in this comprehensive and visually engaging presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, tailored for veterinarians, equine therapists, and dedicated horse owners. OA—also known as degenerative joint disease—is the leading cause of lameness in horses, resulting from progressive cartilage wear due to repetitive stress, past injuries, poor conformation, or intense training. It can affect any horse, at any age, and worsens over time, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced performance. Diagnosis involves lameness evaluation, advanced imaging, and joint assessments. Management takes a holistic path—combining corrective shoeing, tailored exercise, pain control, and cutting-edge regenerative therapies like PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), plus TopPetPro innovations such as MITO Peptide Organotherapy, NANO Peptide Organotherapy, etc.—to reduce inflammation, repair cartilage, and preserve joint mobility, offering horses a better quality of life and longer athletic careers.
