Canine rehabilitation (rehab) is the process of using exercises and modalities, like laser therapy, to reduce pain, improve tissue healing, and improve functional movement. The goal is to help your dog continue to move well, and pain free, for as long as possible. Many dogs can benefit from rehab:
- Dogs with arthritis or other degenerative joint conditions
- Dogs with soft tissue injuries (biceps, iliopsoas, or Achilles’ injuries, etc)
- Dogs that are overweight and have reduced mobility due to their weight
- Dogs that have undergone orthopedic surgical procedures (TPLO, FHO, patella luxation, etc)
- Dogs that have been diagnosed with a neurologic condition (IVDD, FCE, degenerative myelopathy, etc)
We use a combination of therapeutic exercises along with laser therapy (when indicated) for our patients in rehab to help them continue to move their best.
