Veterinary Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles into precise anatomical points that stimulate physiologic healing processes. These include increased blood flow to local and distant sites, relaxation of muscles, release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters (the body’s own natural pain killers and healing agents), and neuromodulation (returning over active nerves or nerves that aren’t functioning properly to their normal, healthy state).
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electrical current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. It is used to augment acupuncture and is particularly useful for managing pain and treating neurologic conditions such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).
Veterinary Rehabilitation
Similar to physical therapy for humans, rehabilitation therapy is an individualized treatment plan for your pet to reduce pain, stimulate healing and improve function when they are sick, injured, recovering, or aging. Treatments include acupuncture, laser, massage, cold/heat therapy, joint mobilizations, manual therapies and therapeutic exercises for strengthening and conditioning.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a painless treatment that uses clinically tested, specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural cellular processes leading to faster healing and pain relief. Thousands of medical studies have shown it’s wide range of beneficial effects including wound healing, decreased inflammation, nerve regeneration and pain relief.
Therapeutic Massage
Massage has numerous health benefits and can improve quality of life. Several techniques are used to treat the soft tissues of the body. Health benefits include relaxation of muscles, release of myofascial restrictions, reduced pain, reduced stress, improved mobility, improved/faster recovery from injury and surgery, improved circulation and decreased joint pain.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
PEMF uses electromagnetic fields to jumpstart and accelerate normal biologic cellular reactions. Numerous scientific studies have proven it’s benefits including decreasing pain and inflammation. Please click on this link to learn more! https://respondsystems.com/pemf/how-it-works/
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver heat deep into the tissues and stimulate cell membranes to promote healing. It increases circulation and tissue extensibility (warms tissue up for stretching), decreases inflammation and muscle spasm, facilitates tissue healing, decreases scar tissue and relaxes muscles. It works well for treating muscle tears, sprains and strains, tendinopathies, bursitis, muscle contracture, tendon calcifications, capsular adhesions and reducing scar tissue.
