Conditions We Treat

Patella luxation, or a dislocated kneecap, happens when the kneecap slips out of its normal position in the femur. This condition is common in toy and small dog breeds such as the Maltese, Chihuahua, French Poodle, and Bichon Frise, which may have a genetic predisposition.

Common Signs:

• Limping
• Holding the leg up for a few steps
• Intermittent skipping
• Reluctance to jump or run

Rehabilitation can help manage symptoms and improve your pet’s quality of life through therapies like physiotherapy, massage, and hydrotherapy.

IVDD is an age-related spinal condition where discs between the vertebrae degenerate or herniate, pressing on the spinal cord and causing pain or mobility issues. It is more common in breeds like Dachshunds, Beagles, and Basset Hounds.

Common Signs:

• Sensitive to touch
• Increased irritability
• Reluctant to move or play
• Loss of bladder control
• Crying or whimpering in pain

Rehabilitation, including LASER therapy and manual therapy, can help alleviate pain, support recovery, and improve mobility in pets with IVDD.

Hip dysplasia is a hereditary condition where the hip joint forms improperly, leading to joint instability and arthritis over time. Large breeds like German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors are more prone to this condition.

Common Signs:

• Decreased activity
• Difficulty moving
• Unusual gait
• Stiffness and pain
• Lameness in the hind end

Rehabilitation using hydrotherapy, strengthening exercises, and manual therapy can enhance joint function and relieve discomfort, improving your pet's mobility and quality of life.
