Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of alternative therapies on pain management in companion animals. The use of alternative therapies has gained popularity in veterinary medicine as a complementary approach to conventional treatments. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of alternative therapies in managing pain in companion animals and to provide insights into their potential benefits. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine existing research on various alternative therapies, including acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, and physical therapy, in the context of pain management in animals. The research methodology involved a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including surveys, interviews, and clinical trials, to assess the efficacy of alternative therapies in relieving pain and improving the quality of life for companion animals. The findings of the study indicate that alternative therapies have shown promising results in managing pain in companion animals, with many animal owners reporting positive outcomes and improved well-being in their pets. However, limitations in the scope of the study, such as sample size and duration of treatment, highlight the need for further research to validate the effectiveness of alternative therapies in pain management. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to the growing body of knowledge on alternative therapies in veterinary medicine and its potential to enhance the treatment options available for pain management in companion animals. The thesis concludes with a summary of the key findings and recommendations for future research in this area.
