Rehabilitation is rapidly becoming recognized for the prevention, cure and rehabilitation of many conditions.  When  humans have soft  tissue injuries, fractures, trauma or surgery, Physiotherapy is used to accelerate the healing process and restore function.  This therapy is now available to aid in the recovery of these conditions in animals as well.

Treatment techniques include:    

  • Soft tissue and joint mobilizations 
  • Stretching
  • Strength & Endurance
  • Movement re-education 
  • Massage, trigger point therapy and
    myofascial release
  • Balance and proprioception re-training
  • Heat and ice treatment 
  • Dry needle, laser, aqua, electro  and 
    acupuncture
  • Underwater treadmill & hydrotherapy 
  • Pulsed signal Therapy 
  • Low level laser therapy 
  • Ultrasound 
  • Iontopheresis 
  • Phonophoresis

Animal Rehabilitation aims to restore normal movement, muscle mass & function, reduce pain, swelling and inflammation. 

Our rehabilitation department also offers conditioning, pain management and weight loss services.

REHABILITATION PLANS
On the first visit, Dr. Aronson and  Sherri Jerzyk, our certified rehabilitation assistant will assess your pet and develop a rehabilitation plan specific to your pets needs.  Many factors are considered when designing a rehabilitation program and deciding which particular therapies will be suitable for each animal.

The factors are as follows:  

  • Age/Temperament  
  • Type of injury  
  • Time since injury
  • Pre-existing conditions 
  • Lifestyle/occupation of pet 
  • Recovery Goals

Saying No to Surgery - Article

Home programs are provided to all Rehabilitation clients to enable rehabilitation to be continued at home on a daily basis.

VETERINARY REFERRAL
We liaise regularly with your pet’s veterinarian to ensure continuity of care and ensure any specific rehabilitation requirements are met.  A Veterinary Referral is important to make sure your dog has a correct diagnosis, all relevant tests and any medical/surgical requirements have been performed.  You may email sherri@pawstucson.com with questions.

Communication is vital to ensure common goals are set and any specific recommendations or contraindications are followed.
