Canine Physical Therapy |
|
|
Sports medicine and physical rehabilitation have been used for years to assist humans to achieve a full recovery following injury and/or surgery. It has also been utilized to enhance performance of many types of athletes. These same methods can now be utilized with your pet. Physical therapy can reduce the need for anti-inflammatory medication for your pet. It can also be utilized to improve performance of your pet in athletic events. A sport-specific conditioning program can be designed specifically for your dog. Animals can now recover from injuries that were once career ending with the use of physical therapy and, in some cases, advanced surgical techniques.
