For many pets, the discomfort from a surgical procedure or injury unfortunately does not go away quickly and as a result they live in a great deal of pain and discomfort.
We are now able to offer the use of various rehabilitation techniques to help our patients recover from injury or surgery, increase mobility and improve flexibility.
Therapeutic laser treatments are available for our patients.  The laser helps increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain to injured bones, muscles and tendons, including arthritic joints.  The treatment is painless and many pets find it relaxing.
