The physical rehabilitation of animals is a new area of veterinary medicine which has become essential in providing the best opportunities for our companions to recover from orthopedic surgery, soft tissue injuries and beat the pain and immobility of arthritis.  Common physical rehabilitation modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation (TENS), laser, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), magnetic field therapy, manual therapy, underwater treadmill and swimming can all, when used properly, assist in treating orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions and chronic conditions brought about by normal aging in our companions. These musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions can result in weakness, pain, decreased range of motion, loss of coordination, decreased endurance and difficulty with normal daily activities.

Indication for Rehabilitation Therapy:

Indications for rehabilitation therapy include post-operative recovery, neurological conditions, osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, pain control, sports-related injuries and performance problems, and weight loss and conditioning. Other areas of complementary and integrative medicine such as chiropractic, acupuncture and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine and massage therapy have also all shown significant therapeutic response in helping our patients feel better, play better and live better.
