Restoring our patients' quality of life rehab vets

Conditions Treated

(some of these conditions may require surgical treatment
in conjunction with rehabilitation)

 
  • Osteoarthritis – increased mobility, range of motion, decreased inflammation and need for medications
  • Obesity – weight loss programs can be designed for each individual
  • Hip dysplasia – builds supporting muscle mass, increased mobility & comfort
  • Muscle injuries – speeds healing, decreases inflammation, prevents scarring, restores normal functional length
  • Back injuries – increased muscle support to prevent reinjury, manage pain
  • Spinal injury/IVDD – decreased spasticity, pain management, earlier ambulation
  • Spondylosis – manage pain, maintain flexibility and strength
  • Arthrodesis - faster adaptation, support of surrounding joints 
  • Joint replacements – faster adaptation, improves coordination & strength
  • Fractures – faster recovery, prevents muscle contracture
  • Cruciate injury – speeds and improves recovery, restores extension, decreases inflammation 
  • Amputation – adaptation, builds supporting muscles, management of pain 
  • Shoulder OCD – increased mobility, strengthening
  • Elbow dysplasia – increased mobility, decreased inflammation, strengthening
  • Joint dislocation – strengthens supporting muscles & ligaments, prevents reinjury
  • Patellar luxation – strengthening of quadriceps, prevents reinjury
  • Tendon injury – increased range of motion and strength, decreased inflammation and scar tissue
  • Peripheral nerve injury – speeds recovery, functional adaptation, manages pain
  • Neuromuscular disease – strengthening, adaptation, pain management
  • Fibrocartilagenous embolism (FCE) – can hasten recovery, improve coordination
  • Degenerative myelopathy (DM) – helps to maintain muscle function and prolong life
  • Cauda Equina Syndrome – manages pain, maintains strength and function
  • Vestibular disorders – improves balance and coordination, decreases injury
This list is not exhaustive. Contact a rehab vet for more info.
