Rehabilitation therapy aims to enhance your pet’s recovery and quality of life.

If your pet has chronic joint conditions, underwent a recent surgery, or participates in athletic competitions, our rehabilitation services can help. We want your pet to live their fullest life and improve their overall well-being with rehabilitative medicine.

Pet rehabilitation medicine focuses on promoting optimal function and mobility in pets. Through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, our treatments aim to enhance the quality of life and overall well-being of animals recovering from injury, illness, or surgical procedures.

Please note that our veterinary rehab facility is referral-only. If you have a pet that needs rehabilitation services, ask your veterinarian to reach out to us.

What is Rehab for Pets?

Pet rehabilitation is a specialized branch of veterinary care that enhances health through customized therapeutic techniques. Rehab offers a safe, supportive path to better wellness. Our veterinary rehab services cover three main areas:

Injury & Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Pets recovering from surgery or injuries benefit greatly from focused rehabilitation. Our treatments reduce pain, rebuild strength, and restore function. The goal of these services is to improve long-term outcomes.

Chronic Disease & Age-Related Management

Older pets or those living with debilitating diseases such as degenerative myelopathy or intervertebral disc disease often struggle with reduced mobility. Rehabilitation manages symptoms, maintains muscle tone, and improves quality of life over time.

Healthy Pet Athletic Conditioning & Sports Management

Conditioning therapies should be part of a routine for highly active or competitive pets. Our performance-based rehabilitative programs prevent injury, improve agility, and fine-tune your pet’s physical capabilities for sporting events or adventurous lifestyles.

We utilize a broad range of therapeutic techniques and modalities in our rehabilitation medicine services, tailored to each patient’s specific needs. These techniques include manual therapies, therapeutic exercises, specialized equipment, and therapeutic ultrasound.

Pet rehabilitation medicine plays a pivotal role in pain management for pets. It is also immensely beneficial for animals with chronic conditions or those that participate in competitive sports. Whether an animal is suffering from orthopedic, neurological, or musculoskeletal disorders or recovering from surgery, our services improve mobility and increase strength for a better life.
