The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) is the leading forum and educational resource for veterinary professionals and pet owners interested in animal pain prevention, management and treatment. Animal pain management continues to be a rapidly expanding field as research findings and clinical experience continue to evolve. As treatment options grow, IVAPM seeks to combine the traditional and medicinal modalities of pain management with complimentary treatments such as acupuncture, rehabilitation and physical therapy. As such, combining various pain management therapies allows for the best possible outcome for the animal.
