"We are equipped and prepared to provide a complete array of services in veterinary physical medicine and rehabilitation. Our goal is to give every patient the best possible chance for a full recovery." Accidents and injury occur. Agility, Schutzhund, calf roping, jumpers, dressage, barrel horses and police dogs exert a lot of strain on their bodies and joints.

As an animal ages, resiliency declines and stresses naturally accumulate.

 

 

Rehabilitation
The animal body's restorative capabilities can be optimized by therapeutic options like nutritional support, massage, ultrasound, chiropractic, infrared light, laser, magnetic, and hydro therapy.

Following an injury or surgery, these therapies can accelerate tissue repair, block pain, increase blood flow, and improve the lymphatic system.

 

 

Some of the cases that can benefit from rehabilitation therapy:

   Fracture Healing           Post Trauma
   Sprains / Strains           Ligament Injury
   Knee / Joint Surgery     Pain
   Hip Dysplasia               Arthritis

"A great asset." says Gene Gieselmann - athletic trainer, St. Louis Cardinals for 29 years.
