What is Canine Rehabilitation Therapy?

Similar to physical therapy in humans, canine rehabilitation therapy improves a pet’s strength, balance, and ability to bear weight on weak or injured limbs, and of course aids in pain management. Canine rehabilitation is an excellent tool for dogs with orthopedic injuries, neurological disease, and geriatric ailments such as arthritis. It’s also ideal for pre and post surgery as this type of therapy helps to strengthen their core, build endurance and stamina, and decreases their chance of re-injury.

Our consultation begins with a full examination of your dogs muscles, flexibility & range of motion, pain assessment, and physical exam. Following this an acupuncture or laser therapy treatment can be performed. Our initial consultation includes a nutrition and supplement discussion along with rehabilitation exercises and a take-home exercise plan, along with a comprehensive treatment plan that could include modalities such as Hydrotherapy, cold laster therapy, acupuncture, electrical stimulation, pulse electromagnetic bed therapy, and electroacupuncture
