Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy for Pets
Our dedicated veterinary team is committed to enhancing your pet’s well-being through advanced rehabilitation and physical therapy services. We understand the unique value your pets bring to your lives, and we strive to provide treatments that promote faster recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall health and mobility.

Our Services
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It’s a non-invasive treatment that reduces pain and inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
Underwater Treadmill
Our underwater treadmill provides low-impact exercise that helps pets regain strength and mobility. The buoyancy of water supports the pet’s weight, reducing stress on joints and muscles.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. This treatment is effective for a variety of conditions, including arthritis and orthopedic injuries.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound works by heating the damaged tissues which increases blood flow and local metabolism. It also softens and breaks down scar tissue, stimulates collagen production and decreases pain and inflammation.
Electrical Stimulation
E-stim is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses electrical currents to help dogs with pain, muscle weakness and other conditions. This helps with muscle strengthening and conditioning as well as increased blood flow.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
A form of regenerative medicine that helps to treat inflammatory conditions that affect ligaments, muscles and tendons. This procedure can help increase mobility in pets with osteoarthritis, as well as other joint diseases.
Stem Cell Therapy
Another form of regenerative medicine that uses your pet’s own stem cells to help heal diseased or damaged tissue. This type of approach can be used for a wide variety of issues including hip dysplasia, torn ligaments, osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc disease and much more!
