Deep tight muscle spasms and chronic ligament and tendon injuries often benefit from ultrasound therapies. Other modalities are usually combined with ultrasound to allow for maximal healing.

Massage Therapy benefits most of our patients undergoing rehab. Massages will improve circulation, flexibility and joint mobility.

A deliberate and focused technique of touching, massage is more than petting. Massage reduces stress, aides in healing and provides ongoing health care.

Veterinary Chiropractic treatments are a foundation for maintaining and achieving health in your pet and are used in almost all animals undergoing rehabilitation. Adjustments facilitate normal movement in the spinal column, limbs and pelvis. These treatments are crucial to preventing injuries in athletic dogs and for reducing pain and inflammation in injured pets.
