Canine rehabilitation is the treatment of physical injury or illness in order to decrease pain and restore function. Many patients can benefit from rehabilitation therapy, especially if they have experienced: post-operative orthopedic surgery, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, hip dysplasia, and much more. If you think your pet may benefit from rehabilitation, call us to learn more!
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light causes a reaction, and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.
Animal Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs
Many pet owners have never tried acupuncture themselves and worry if it’s safe, painful, or effective for their cat or dog. According to the Chi Institute, acupuncture has a myriad of benefits for your pet, some of which include pain relief, the promotion of tissue healing, regulation of gastrointestinal motility, immunoregulation, antifebrile effects, and reproductive and hormone regulation.
