Veterinary Rehabilitation has long been the standard of care in human medicine to maximize recovery following injury or surgery and to successfully manage chronic conditions such as arthritis. At Allure Integrated Pet Specialists, Rehabilitation bridges Western and Alternative medicine to give your pet the best of both worlds.

Browse our website to see some the interventions and tools that we can utilize to help improve your pet’s mobility and comfort.

Our Rehabilitation treatments augment the relief provided by medications and alternative care (acupuncture, herbal supplements), often decreasing and even eliminating the need for conventional pain medications. Rehabilitation works as part of your pet’s care team, which includes your family Veterinarian, Veterinary Specialists here at Allure or other specialty groups, and providers of alternative/complementary care such as Acupuncture and Chiropractic.

Our ultimate goal is to empower you with the tools to help your pet attain the best quality of life possible and return to the activities you both enjoy.
