Dr. Lindsey Fry grew up in Boulder, Colorado and attended Colorado State University for veterinary school. As a veterinary student, she became certified in medical veterinary acupuncture, and her passion for pain management and mobility was sparked. 

She completed her rehabilitation training and certification (CCRP) through the University of Tennessee in 2011, and became a certified veterinary pain practitioner through the International Veterinary Academy for Pain Management (IVAPM) in 2013. She went on to serve as board member of the IVAPM and subsequently as treasurer.

Dr. Fry practices in Fort Collins, CO where she focuses on an integrative approach to pain and mobility management in a wide variety of patients, offering regenerative medicine, rehabilitation, palliative care, sports medicine, and pain management. In 2023 she achieved board certification through the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (DACVSMR). 

Dr. Fry has published on acupuncture, pain management, iliopsoas injury in agility dogs, palliative care, and continues to have a special interest in pain management in complex cases and a multimodal approach to keeping pets active and mobile. She enjoys teaching and lecturing with a variety of organizations and continues to pursue research in pain management, sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Dr. Fry lives in Fort Collins with her husband and two adventurous daughters and a full menagerie of pets.
