Rehabilitation
Helping Your Pet Heal and Recover
Whether your pet is recovering from an injury, surgery, or managing a chronic condition, we provide compassionate, expert care to help them regain strength and return to the activities they love.
Navigating recovery steps on your own is stressful. At Atlas Pet Vets we have state-of-the-art equipment and a dedicated, specially trained rehabilitation team all under one roof for comprehensive evaluation and care. We’re here to guide you through a smooth, effective recovery process not available in most general practices.
Our Services
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate healing.
These conditions can benefit from treatment:
- Arthritis and Joint Pain
- Back and Spinal Problems
- Soft Tissue Sprains, Strains, and Muscle Tears
- Wounds from Cuts, Abrasions, and Surgical Incisions
How Does It Work
Laser therapy delivers targeted therapeutic light energy to specific areas of your pet’s body. It’s safe, non-invasive, drug-free and surgery-free. Our trained veterinary staff uses specialized equipment that is calibrated to match your pet’s size and condition.
Benefits
- Eases stiffness and improves mobility
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Speeds healing of wounds
What To Expect
Our technicians perform treatment in the privacy of our examination rooms. Protective eyewear is used to avoid direct exposure to the light coming from the laser equipment.
We create a personalized plan for your pet. Some pets improve after only a few treatments while others may need more. Each treatment lasts from 5-20 minutes, depending on the condition we are treating.
Your pet may feel gentle warmth, but it’s comfortable and many pets enjoy it and even fall asleep!
Underwater Treadmill Therapy
Underwater treadmill therapy is a form of canine hydrotherapy that encourages movement, muscle building, and recovery.
These conditions can benefit from treatment:
- Arthritis and Age-Related Mobility Issues
- Joint Pain and Flexibility
- Injury and Surgery Recovery
- Weight Management
How Does It Work
Underwater treadmill therapy combines the benefits of buoyancy and controlled walking movement. Water supports your dog’s weight, reducing strain on joints and allowing for full range of motion.
Benefits
- Improves joint mobility and flexibility
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Provides faster surgical and injury recovery
- Increases strength and endurance
- Manages weight and cardiovascular health
What To Expect
Our underwater treadmill is in a dedicated room with glass windows for viewing. Your dog is placed in a watertight chamber on the treadmill. The tank gradually fills with warm water to the right level for your dog.
We create a custom plan for your pet for weekly, biweekly, or more frequent post-surgery sessions. Each session lasts from 20-60 minutes, depending on your dog’s needs, condition, and tolerance. We start slow and adjust as your dog progresses.
Many dogs find the warm water soothing and relaxing! Our team makes sure your pet is comfortable and is encouraged throughout the session.
