Abstract
Physiotherapy in veterinary medicine can be used to strengthen specific muscle groups, which is particularly interesting in the conservative treatment of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral head. OCD is endochondral ossification disorder and is characterized by an injury to the joint cartilage. There are conservative and surgical treatments for the disease that aim to restore limb functionality and relieve pain. Building the musculature through physical rehabilitation strengthens the periarticular muscles and decreases the progression of osteoarthrosis, reducing clinical symptoms. Some of the main physical activities used in the treatment of dogs with OCD of the humeral head include active and passive movements, hydrotherapy, massage and cryotherapy.
