Hydrotherapy: reduces swelling and inflammation,
relieves pain, and increases circulation as well as range of motion, allowing your
pet to recover more easily and quickly from surgery or injury. Even though hydrotherapy
is a simple technique, it can be tremendously effective for healing and returning
your dog to pain-free mobility. The treadmill accelerates healing by facilitating
blood flow, maintaining joint flexibility, and stimulating nerves and muscles.
In addition to providing physical exercise and relief, our underwater treadmill
can also provide a pet with a level of independence. A pet who can't comfortably
walk in the park without help from its owner can still enjoy walking freely and
comfortably in the buoyancy of the warm water treadmill.
Northwest Animal Care prides itself on offering
the very latest in rehabilitation treatment such as laser, ultrasound and electronic
stimulus therapy.
Laser emissions: act fast on areas
of inflammation; stimulates blood and
lymphatic circulation; plays an important role in the management of pain, which
is diminished as inflammation decreases.
Ultrasound technology: highly complimentary
when used with other forms of therapy for pain and muscle inflammation.
Electronic stimulus: has also proven
to be an effective tool for pain management and muscle strengthening.
