Modalities used to improve and maintain your pet's quality of life include:
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) – This therapy is the use of electrical current to stimulate a muscle contraction of a particular muscle or muscle group. The benefits of this modality include pain relief, improving muscles that have atrophied due to disuse or neurological disease, stimulates healing of tendons as well as fractures, circulatory disorders, joint effusion and assists with post-operative healing.
Laser Therapy – Laser therapy is the use of light energy to affect underlying tissues. This energy can influence the lymph system, circulation, the nervous system, wound healing as well as healing post surgery. Conditions that can benefit from laser therapy include arthritic conditions, tendonitis, bursitis, tendon or ligament injuries, pain relief, as well as wounds. Laser therapy can also be useful in the stimulation of acupuncture trigger points. Animal Rehabilitation & Wellness, PLLC uses the Cutting Edge Class IV MLS portable laser.
Therapeutic Exercises – These exercises are used to promote muscle strength, joint mobility, improve balance and motor control of muscles. They are performed in a controlled environment and vary depending on your pet and their condition. Equipment that can be used includes physio balls, rocker (balance) boards, cavaletti poles, blocks, and therabands. A home exercise program is developed for your pet’s specific needs and demonstrated with you and your pet.
Soft Tissue Massage and Joint Mobilization – These techniques are used to relieve pain, relax muscles that are affected by injury and those that the pet has been compensating with. These techniques also strengthen muscles.
Thermal Therapies – Heat can help with pain relief, increase circulation, muscle spasms, chronic swelling and tissue healing. Cold can help with pain relief, inflammation, hemorrhage, reducing swelling and muscle spasms.
