A more active life depends on effective rehabilitation
Just like humans, pets may need rehabilitation after an accident or medical procedure, or to help manage a chronic condition.
MedVet Rehabilitation practitioners provide effective and personalized physical rehabilitation using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to maximize the opportunity for full recovery. MedVet Rehabilitation Practitioners have completed advanced training in veterinary physical rehabilitation.
Many pets respond well to rehabilitation, including those with orthopedic, neurologic and medical conditions. We also use rehabilitation to help pets live a more complete and active life by providing geriatric support, obesity management and athletic conditioning.
We create individualized therapy programs to help:
- Boost a pet’s mental well-being
- Increase strength and function of weak or paralyzed limbs
- Prevent muscle loss during recovery from surgery
- Improve the overall health of pets in need of conditioning and weight loss
- Reduce pain
- Speed healing of injured nerves, muscles, tendons and bones
