Bedside Manner
Although most health practitioners know of the importance of building a trusting relationship with patients, many who work in the industry do not have the time or support to pursue these efforts on a regular basis. We intentionally limit our productivity in order to provide the time that is necessary to build and maintain relationships because practicing good bedside manner is incompatible with high patient loads. Being in our relaxed Pet Gym environment while actively learning and collaborating in the care of your pet enables better communication between all who are involved in the process.
Acupuncture
Though miniscule in size, these time-tested medical instruments leverage the body’s own capacity to heal in ways we’re just starting to understand. Find out why acupuncture needles are worth their weight in gold.
Shock Wave (Extracorporeal Shock Wave / Electrohydraulic Shock Wave)
Shock Wave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to speed healing. Patients with osteoarthritis, bone fractures (non-union), tendon and ligament injuries, back pain, and other conditions may benefit from Shock Wave treatment.
Electrical Stimulation (ESTIM)
Adding a very specific range of electrical impulses to accurately-placed acupuncture needles can greatly enhance the body’s natural response to heal, adapt, and to alleviate pain and other ailments.
Cold Laser (Class 4 MLS)
Pulses of specific light frequencies are used to help patients heal in surprising ways. Ultimately, this high-tech tool gets results for a variety of our patients.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF)
All living organisms generate their own electromagnetic fields as part of the process of living. We use an electromagnet, tuned to specific healing frequencies, as part of our range of treatments.
Therapeutic Massage
Pets benefit from massage in a variety of ways. Massage can be used to ease pain and discomfort, to promote blood flow, and to establish trusting relationship based on sensory feedback that feels good.
Rehabilitation and Medical Fitness
Movement is life, and we enlist you as a partner to help your pet live a life focused on quality. As your pet develops proficiency of body movements, we build on their individual interests in order to maintain their growth as a Ruff Day Pet Gymnast.
