Chiropractic Care
From the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association:
Veterinary Chiropractic is the science, art and philosophy concerned with good health through restoration and maintenance of a properly functioning neuromusculoskeletal system, without the use of drugs or surgery.
Veterinary Chiropractic care is a manual therapy, which can be used for many health and performance problems. It focuses on the biomechanical dysfunction of the spine and its effect on the entire nervous system throughout the body.
Heat and Cold Therapy
Heat and cold therapy can be used to help relieve pain and sore muscles, treat acute injuries, and promote circulation.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy uses concentrated oxygen at increased pressures to allow the oxygen to diffuse into tissues. Increased oxygen may help tissues heal at a faster rate.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a form of light therapy used for the treatment of osteoarthritis and muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries, as well as wound repair, bone healing, and pain relief.
MLS Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions, such as arthritis, disc disease, inflammation, and more.

Electrical stimulation provides comfort by blocking pain pathways, soothing aching joints, and relaxing muscles.
Underwater Treadmill
The underwater treadmill is a form of hydrotherapy. It utilizes the properties of water, such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, and resistance, to improve physiological function.
