Physical Rehabilitation

At Jackson Animal Hospital, our goal is to help your pet recover as fast as possible, whether he or she is recovering from orthopedic surgery, musculoskeletal injury, or neurologic condition. Physical therapy is a great tool that can both shorten healing times and also allow animals to regain their full function. Like you, we want your pet to have the best quality of life possible, and resolving orthopedic pain can be a huge benefit to both you and your pet.

Two modalities of physical therapy offered at our hospital are a Hudson Aquatic water treadmill and a class 3B therapeutic laser.

Hudson Aquatic Underwater Treadmill:

Hydrotherapy has been used for decades to help both humans and animals recover from a wide range of conditions including traumatic injuries, post-surgical cases, obesity, and neurologic disease. The buoyancy and resistance created by water allow for the perfect medium whereby an animal with an injured limb or spine can exercise in a pain-free environment and can regain muscle mass and mobility – allowing for faster healing and a better quality of life. Patients can also improve on their range of motion, flexibility, strength, and conditioning; especially ones who have been injured and inactive for long periods of time.

Laser Therapy- Lumix Class 3B Laser:

Laser therapy, also called red light therapy, photobiomodulation therapy, and low-level laser therapy is a simple in-house procedure that reduces pain and inflammation and speeds recovery of bone, nerve, and soft tissue injuries.
