Canine Rehabilitation

This profession is directed at evaluating, restoring and maintaining a dog's physical function and movement. Working with the owner, veterinarian and referring veterinarian, MedVet Memphis's Canine Rehabilitation Program helps your pet to achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being. Equipped with a specialized education and extensive experience, CCRTs are able to assess and treat movement and function.

Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation are recognized sciences applied to both humans and animals. The goals of therapy are to relieve pain, restore range of motion/movement, improve function, prevent injuries and expand the physical potential of the patient.

Post-Operative Uses

Common surgeries for which rehabilitation may be helpful include TPLO, post-disc, cruciate ligament repairs, total hip replacements, fracture repairs, back and neck surgeries, femoral head and neck ostectomies (FHO's), patella luxations, elbow surgery/arthroscopy, and other orthopedic related surgery.

Post-Injury Uses

There is potential in all dogs and especially those that are very active or susceptible based on breed for injuries that include but are not limited to knees, shoulders, hips, backs, and necks. Dogs who have suffered injury affecting the muscles, bones, ligaments, or tendons may benefit from rehabilitation.


CONDITIONING

Conditioning services are available to owners who want to get their dog in better shape for competition, whether in the show ring or the sports arena, or to simply increase activity levels. The owner may schedule an appointment to have their pet conditioned using the underwater treadmill.

Key Uses

Sporting and field trial dogs, show dogs, agility training, fly ball, frisbee, and Schutzhund dogs.
