ANIMAL THERAPEUTIC SERVICES
Movement and mobility are directly related to pain and quality of life—of the pet parent, as well as the pet. Evaluation includes orthopedic palpation, neurologic, myofascial, motion palpation examinations, as well as mobility, strength, and pain assessment. Treatments include therapeutic exercises, modalities such as laser, manual therapy, and acupuncture. Also fit dogs with assistive devices such as wheelchairs, harnesses, and braces.
