The rehabilitation process begins with a Physical Medicine Evaluation. The comprehensive evaluation is done by a veterinarian certified in canine rehabilitation, acupuncture, and spinal manipulation. The assessment will include a physical, neurological, and orthopedic exam.
The rehabilitation team will also review current medications, home environment, and medical and surgical history. Objective measurements are obtained of your pet’s musculature, joints, gait, and posture. This allows our certified rehabilitation team to better understand your pet’s current health status. The final step is a discussion of your expectations and goals to plan the best individualized rehabilitation/conditioning program for your pet.
