Neurological problems stem from the pet’s nervous system: the brain, spinal cord and nerves, and can lead to unsteady walking or even paralysis of the legs.
Rehabilitation is aimed at using techniques and equipment that help the nerves regenerate by utilising their ability to reorganise and adapt, known as neuroplasticity.
More about Brain and Spine InjuriesJoint and bone (orthopaedic) problems can result from sudden trauma or injury, or they can be more chronic and degenerative in nature.
Physiotherapy improves patient comfort and recovery after injury, helping them to return to their active lifestyle faster.
More about Joints, Bones and Post-SurgeryStrains occur when the tendons that link muscles to bones are injured, whereas sprains are injuries to the ligaments that connect the bones together.
We commonly treat dogs, cats and rabbits suffering from strains and sprains. The initial phase of rehabilitation treatment is to manage pain and slowly re-establish normal movement to the affected area.
More about Muscle Strains and SprainsSenior pets develop age-related problems such as osteoarthritis and joint pain, weight gain, stiffness, soreness, limping, loss of flexibility, strength and mobility.
Aging gracefully and maintaining quality of life are vital in caring for senior and geriatric pets. Massage therapy, heat therapy, therapeutic laser and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy are very therapeutic, reducing soreness and stiffness.
