Physical Rehabilitation

Just as people sometimes need physical therapy for various orthopedic and neurological conditions, pets occasionally need this valuable treatment. Rose Rock Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer physical rehabilitation, using accepted physical methods and home exercise programs, to return pets to active lives.

Physical rehabilitation is available to help in treating:

• Orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, anterior cruciate injuries, luxating patellas or post surgical recovery;
• Neurologic conditions such as intervertebral disk disease, fibrocartilagenous embolism, or trauma
• Weight management

Rehabilation is also helpful in conditioning the canine athlete.

The goals of the use of physical rehabilitation are to decrease pain, increase strength, improve mobility, improve circulation and improve physiological well being. Modalities that are available at Rose Rock include laser therapy, electromagnetic stimulation therapy, stationary treadmill, heat and cold therapy, therapeutic exercises and massage.

If you feel your pet might benefit from physical rehabilitation, please speak to one of our staff members.
