Tech with Dog on Mat

The goal of our Animal Rehabilitation Center (ARC) is to provide individual care using advanced rehabilitation techniques for the fastest and most complete recovery following an injury or surgery.

Physical therapy following an injury or surgery has been proven to decrease pain and inflammation, improve strength and coordination, increase joint range of motion, and speed healing. Physical rehabilitation can also have positive psychological effects on your pet. Just as humans would receive physical therapy following an injury or surgery, our pets deserve the same care and attention we would expect for ourselves.

Tech in Treadmill

We offer the latest in physical rehabilitation technology, including therapeutic ultrasound, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and aquatic therapy in our underwater treadmill. We also perform superficial cold and heat treatments, massage, therapeutic exercise and also provide home care programs to the owners. Our physical therapist works closely with the surgeons and your primary care veterinarian during the rehabilitation process to ensure that your pet achieves his full potential. Our physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation of your pet and will devise a treatment program tailored specifically for your pet's needs.
