At Healing Paws, we are committed to improving your
pet’s health and quality of life using the following rehabilitative therapies:   



Acupuncture
Provides pain relief, a general sense of wellness and promotes healing through neuromodulation.  The main indications for acupuncture in the rehabilitation setting are arthritis, recovery from neurologic injury, and post-op from a neurological or orthopedic procedure.   

 

Hydro-treadmill
The buoyancy of warm water and the movement of the treadmill combine to reduce the impact on painful joints and help increase the patient’s mobility.

Therapeutic Laser
Laser energy is absorbed by the individual cells stimulating them to produce proteins necessary for tissue repair as well as endorphins that help in pain relief.  Laser therapy is highly recommended for surgical sites and injury locations.

 

Range of Motion Exercises
Stretching and corrective movements are used to enhance mobility and promote joint health.  

 

Massage
Gentle soft tissue manipulation is used to relax muscles and offer
pain relief.

These are exercises performed in the clinic that help strengthen muscles as well as improve the patient's spatial awareness. Exercises utilizing the physioball and wobble board are often employed with a variety of orthopedic and neurologic conditions.

 

Home Exercise Programs
Tailored to each individual pet’s needs, this may include massage, range of motion exercises and thermo (hot and cold) therapy that the client can do at home.
