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
