Rehabilitation and Wellness Services

Hydrotherapy:  Utilizing state of the art technology, the Ferno Aqua Paws Underwater Treadmill provides the best low impact workout.  Designed specifically for canine rehabilitation, the underwater treadmill helps to increase muscle strength, endurance and allows for a quicker transition to land based therapy.

Rehabilitative Therapy:  Our rehabilitative therapy sevices can aid your pet's recovery from surgery or injury, as well as help with pain management and overall conditioning.  An individualized therapeutic program may include a combination of range of motion and stretching exercises, joint mobility techniques, gait training techniques or progressive weight bearing exercises.

Massage:  Massage is beneficial for all dogs but especially for those dogs who suffer from pain due to arthritis, injury or other health problems.

Acupuncture:  Acupuncture has been especially useful for musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, post surgical discomfort, spinal disease and other conditions.

Chiropractic:  Chiropractic is a proven method to help maintain normal alignment and motion of the spinal vertebrae and joints in the body.  "Misalignments" cause the animal to feel pain, discomfort, tingling or weakness.

Therapeutic Laser Treatment:  The laser uses a high energy light that penetrates the tissue to aid in the healing process of sprains, strains and other musculoskeletal injuries.  It promotes deep muscle relaxation as well as aiding in the reduction of acute and chronic joint pain.
