Physiotherapy
I provide an animal physiotherapy service second to none. I listen to what you say and work with you to set a program specific to your pet’s needs. I will guide you every step of the way to help your pet reach their rehabilitation goals sooner.
Chiropractic
Dog chiropractic support is a soft, holistic, all natural approach to treating a number of joint, muscular and skeletal problems that are common in some dogs and certain breeds.
Lasertherapy
Canine High Level Laser Therapy is a safe and non-invasive method to accelerate the healing process of injuries in your dog.
Physiotherapy
Dogs, like people, respond to physiotherapy. The purpose of physiotherapy for dogs is to restore and maintain mobility, function, independence and performance.
Unfortunately injuries and accidents can happen which will effect your animals mobility and general well being. They can also suffer from orthopaedic and neurological conditions which can present themselves at any stage of your pets life. These conditions can cause pain and discomfort which if left will effect your pets quality of life and cause compensatory issues. We want to see our pets happy and get them back to doing what they do best. A combination of evidence based therapeutic techniques can help them in their recovery and maintenance.
Physiotherapy checks are also advised for our competitive and working dogs. Regular checks can detect and treat early signs of muscle tension and asymmetry before they go on to cause injury. It is also a good idea to involve land based exercises to their training regime’s to help with muscle strength and tone.
Physiotherapy should commence as soon as possible after injury, surgery or diagnosis. Gentle movement and techniques to reduce pain early after injury or surgery can actually stimulate healing, help reduce pain, swelling and stiffness, reduce muscle atrophy and degeneration of cartilage, bone and ligament. There is no need to wait until after removal of sutures. Physiotherapists are highly trained to deliver very precise and often gentle treatments so as not to jeopardise repair of painful or healing structures.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting any abnormalities in the alignment of your dog’s musculoskeletal system.
The process releases any areas of pressure and tension so that trapped nerves can become free, and your dog’s nervous system can function properly again. Increased blood flow is another positive effect of chiropractic care in dogs, and this enables oxygen and other important nutrients to pass around the body to all the major organs, as well as reaching any areas that require healing, accelerating this process.
Lasertherapy
Laser therapy for dogs is an alternative therapy used to manage pain, inflammation, swelling, and wound healing.
The interaction between light from the laser and the dog’s tissues is called photobiomodulation. Laser therapy uses light of a single wavelength ranging from visible red to infrared.
- Causing the release of endorphins
- Decreasing the release of inflammatory chemicals
- Causing lymphatic vessels to dilate (expand so fluid moves out of the tissue)
- Increasing blood flow to an area
Laser therapy is usually done on an outpatient basis, with sessions typically lasting 15-20 minutes.
Some conditions, such as wounds, can be treated daily. Chronic conditions like arthritis usually treated several times a week when the dog first starts treatment, with longer intervals over time until the dog reaches a maintenance plan.
Laser therapy for dogs is not a standard practice that’s widely available now, but it’s gaining in popularity. You’re more likely to find laser therapy available at specialty clinics or rehabilitation facilities.
