Hydrotherapy uses the buoyancy of water to allow dogs to walk with a more normal gate while taking the stress off their joints. Because the water helps with weight bearing, it allows the dog to move more freely with less stress and pain.
Dogs of all sizes and physical levels can benefit from hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is often used for dogs that are recovering from an injury or surgery or in lieu of surgery. It can also benefit older dogs that have arthritis or have just slowed down and dogs that just need more physical exercise.
We use a custom designed underwater treadmill to perform Hydrotherapy for dogs. The dogs can easily walk into the treadmill and the water fills from the ground up. We can raise and lower the treadmill to accommodate dogs of all sizes. The water is temperature controlled and treated & filtered.
Laser Therapy can be a great way to treat pain conditions (chronic pain, arthritis, joint & muscle issues).
PEMF Therapy can improve athletic performances, reduce inflammation, stimulate cell metabolism and help you recover faster from an injury. Furthermore, PEMF Therapy increases the cellular level of oxygen absorption by up to 200%. This reduces pain associated with lack of sufficient oxygen.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive method that uses pressure waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. High-Energy acoustic waves (shock waves) deliver a mechanical force to the body’s tissues.
Therapeutic Ultrasound uses sound waves or ultrasound rays, penetrate within the body generating heat increasing blood flow, and relaxing muscles and connective tissues thereby reducing pain and muscle spasms. The stimulation of these tissues in this way encourages repair and can greatly reduce the healing time of certain injuries.
