Why Rehab - Vet in Avon Lake | Up & Running Canine Rehabilitation

Why Rehabilitation Matters

Physical rehabilitation is essential in the management of many orthopedic and neurologic problems, obesity, and senior conditions of our pets. These diseases can be chronic, painful, and debilitating, leading to a poor quality of life. Rehabilitation, when done appropriately, can relieve pain, improve recovery, and maintain mobility in our animal friends. A certified rehabilitation practitioner is vital in designing and managing treatment plans for pets suffering from these conditions.

What is a Certified Rehabilitation Practitioner?

A certified rehabilitation practitioner is one who has completed extensive training to become proficient in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of orthopedic, neurologic and senior pet conditions. They have made a commitment to continuing education and training specifically in animal physical rehabilitation, providing the very best standard of care. Rehabilitation practitioners are experts in utilizing specialized treatment modalities such as therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy, Class IV Laser therapy, TENS, and thermotherapy to speed recovery from orthopedic surgery or injury, improve mobility, and decrease pain associated with debilitating conditions such as osteoarthritis.
