FAQs

What Is Veterinary Rehab?
Pet rehabilitation, akin to physical therapy (PT) in humans, uses targeted therapeutic exercises and modalities to support recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic disease. Rehabilitation is also highly beneficial for aging pets, helping manage conditions such as arthritis and other age-related changes to maintain comfort, function, and quality of life.

What is Integrative Veterinary Care
Integrative medicine combines the strengths of conventional Western medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies — such as acupuncture, rehabilitation, herbal support & other therapeutic modalities — to treat the whole patient, not just a single condition. This approach supports whole-patient health by enhancing function and overall wellness s that complement the body’s natural healing response.

Why Does My Pet Need Rehab (PT)?
Every animal deserves the best quality of life possible. Rehab supports functional ability, strength & overall well-being — whether a patient is recovering from injury or surgery, managing chronic disease, aging, or working to stay healthy & active. Through targeted therapeutic exercise & evidence-based modalities, rehab helps improve strength, flexibility, neurologic function, endurance, while supporting the healing of muscle, tendon, ligament & bone conditions.

When Is Veterinary Rehab (PT) Recommended?
Veterinary rehabilitation helps improve mobility, strength, function & overall quality of life. It is especially valuable for patients recovering from surgery or injury, managing orthopedic or chronic disease, or experiencing pain & mobility challenges. Rehab commonly supports cruciate & soft-tissue injuries, arthritis & joint disease, neurologic & spinal conditions & post-operative recovery. It is also beneficial for weight management, fitness conditioning & performance support.

What Is Veterinary Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves placing very thin needles at specific points on the body to stimulate targeted physiologic responses and support healing. Used in both human and veterinary medicine for hundreds of years, it is now practiced worldwide — on its own or alongside Western medicine — to help manage pain, improve mobility and neurologic function, and support overall wellness as a safe, integrative component of your pet’s medical care.

How Will Acupuncture Benefit My Animal?
Acupuncture is a safe, integrative therapy that supports healing, function, and overall wellness in animals of all ages. It is commonly used to help manage orthopedic and soft-tissue conditions, neurologic and mobility disorders, digestive and internal medicine concerns, stress-related issues, and chronic or post-surgical pain. Regular treatments can promote tissue healing, improve circulation, and support performance, recovery, and healthy aging.
