Episode 59: Joint Injections - Good, Bad or Necessary?

Joint injections are a commonly used pharmaceutical approach to managing equine joints. While they can bring comfort and reduce inflammation, they’re not a long-term solution on their own. We discuss why comfort stemming from sustainable movement is different to masking the symptoms of joint changes.

In this week’s podcast, we unpack:

Different kinds of equine joint injections, how they work and associated risks

How joint injections can be a valuable tool but are not a complete management plan

Why we need to look at the biomechanics creating stress on the affected joint

The rationle behind a change in posture and function for long-term improvement
