We like to use a variety of Complementary Therapies including:
Therapeutic UltrasoundTherapeutic ultrasound is the application of sound waves via a transducer directly onto the skin. Ultrasound is used to promote local blood flow and may help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation. Ultrasound is also used to promote bone fracture healing and to help break down scar tissue.

Cold Laser (LLLT)LLLT (also known as low-level laser therapy) is a non invasive treatment that applies light in the form of low level lasers or LED's to the tissues of the body. The application of low-power lasers alleviates pain and can improve tissue repair and is great for wound healing! It is a painless procedure and usually takes about 10 minutes to complete.

ElectrotherapyNeuromuscular electrical simulation (NMES) involves sending electrical impulses to the nerves. This causes the muscles to contract and can be used to increase strength and range of motion.It is often used to 're-train' and 're-educate' muscle back to function after a period of disuse.

Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It is used on dogs to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and support muscle recovery without the need for medications. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for dogs with injuries, chronic conditions, or those in need of improved muscular performance.
