Veterinary Rehabilitation

Veterinary rehabilitation begins with the proper diagnosis of injuries, both orthopedic and soft tissue. The rehabilitation-trained veterinarian then uses manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and physical modalities (including electrical stimulation, LASER and (hydrotherapy) to speed and enhance recovery from debilitating injuries and degenerative conditions.

Veterinary rehabilitation incorporates advanced imaging techniques, regenerative medicine and state-of-the-art pain management techniques. Only a properly trained veterinarian, with advanced training, expertise—and most importantly—experience in the management of pain and loss of function through injury and illness, should manage the rehabilitation of an animal.

Conditions that can be treated with physical therapy include:

Osteoarthritis, hip problems, muscle injuries, spinal injuries, intervertebral disc disease, neuromuscular disease, fractures, cruciate injury, paralysis, paresis, limb amputation, shoulder OCD, elbow dysplasia, joint dislocation, patellar luxation, biceps tenosynovitis, achilles tendon rupture, tendon laceration and we can also help to attain and maintain peak fitness in athletes.
