Know your choices

Non-Invasive Treatments

Here are some of the treatments that are available:

Photobiomodulation or cold laser therapy- this is light therapy that works at a cellular level reducing inflammation and pain.
Therapeutic ultrasound – sound therapy often used to increase the extensibility of soft tissue. Often used prior to manual therapy techniques.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation – NMES provides an electrical stimulus to muscles causing a contraction. This is often used following spinal surgery but may also be used in conjunction with exercises for improved strengthening.

When it comes to your pet's well being, knowing your options is the first step to ensuring the best care is provided.
