Myofascial pain, often overlooked or misdiagnosed in veterinary practice, represents a significant source of chronic discomfort and mobility issues in dogs. This resource bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and clinical application, offering evidence-based approaches to managing this complex condition that affects muscles, fascia, and trigger points throughout the canine body. The text delivers detailed instruction on palpation techniques, trigger point identification, and therapeutic interventions specifically adapted for canine anatomy and physiology. Readers will gain insight into the pathophysiology of myofascial pain, learn to differentiate it from other musculoskeletal conditions, and develop comprehensive treatment protocols that integrate manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and multimodal pain management strategies. The guide emphasizes practical, hands-on skills that can be immediately implemented in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Written for the practicing clinician, this resource combines current research with clinical expertise to provide a systematic approach to myofascial pain management. Whether addressing post-surgical complications, chronic lameness, or performance issues in working and sporting dogs, this guide equips veterinarians with the diagnostic acumen and therapeutic tools necessary to effectively treat myofascial dysfunction and restore optimal musculoskeletal function in their canine patients.
