Understanding Rehabilitation Medicine

Similar to physical therapy for humans, rehabilitation medicine plays a vital role in the recovery process for pets. Whether your pet has undergone orthopedic surgery, suffered a neurological injury, or is struggling with chronic pain, rehabilitation therapy can significantly improve their mobility, function, and overall well-being.

We believe in a tailored approach to rehabilitation that addresses your pet’s specific needs and challenges. Our experienced veterinarian, Dr. Kathryn Hartline, will conduct a thorough evaluation of your pet’s condition and develop a personalized rehabilitation program to promote healing and improve their quality of life.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Modalities

Whether your pet is a spirited puppy or a seasoned senior, scheduling their annual wellness exam is vital for their continued vitality and happiness.

Our rehabilitation services encompass a wide range of modalities designed to address various aspects of your pet’s recovery journey:

Heat and Cold Therapy: Used to manage pain and inflammation at different stages of healing.

Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy: Targeted treatment for muscle pain and dysfunction.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation: Promotes muscle strength and mobility, aids in pain management, and accelerates tissue repair.

Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.

Therapeutic Laser: Utilizes low-level laser therapy to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.

• Improved mobility and range of motion
• Reduced pain and discomfort
