Rehabilitation
At Adelaide Plains Veterinary Surgery we are proud to be able to offer a wide range of rehabilitation services to assist your pet in maintaining optimal health and mobility. Similar to human requirements for Physical Therapy after an injury or surgery, rehabilitation programs for animals can reduce recovery times, minimise pain and discomfort and improve quality of life.
Pain and discomfort can arise from conditions including osteoarthritis, invertebral disc disease, post-orthopaedic surgery, soft tissue injuries and obesity. A rehabilitation programme tailored to your pet enables us to support their recovery, and optimise continuing quality of life, regardless of the challenges they may be facing.
Here at Adelaide Plains Veterinary Surgery we are proud to be able to offer your pets a wide variety of rehabilitation services.
