What we do...
Laser Therapy
We use a "Class 4" 9W laser to deliver light energy to the intended tissue for enhanced healing thru "photobiomodulation"
Electrical Stimulation
There are various types of Estim that we can utilize including:
-NMES to increase strength
-IF to decrease swelling
-TENS for pain reduction
Massage
Our extensive training in canine anatomy makes massage effective in increasing circulation, decreasing pain and increasing ROM.
ROM & Stretching
Immobilization, while being necessary for some conditions can be very detrimental to soft tissue. Regaining optimal ROM is one of the most important things rehab can accomplish
Balance
Postural control decreases after injury and with age. Left untreated, this can lead to further injury and make day to day activities more difficult
Strengthening
In order to maximize your dog's outcome, they must regain any strength lost from injury or disuse. Strength loss leads to your dog's inability to perform basic functions such as getting up off the floor or going for walks
