Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) disease affects knee stability in dogs, leading to pain and mobility issues. Knee surgery repairs the ligament, restores joint function, and alleviates discomfort.
A ruptured cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs, leading to knee instability and pain.
TPLO surgery stabilizes the knee joint by altering the tibial slope, restoring mobility, and reducing long-term arthritis risk.
A non-invasive surgical alternative, lateral suture stabilization restores knee stability by placing a strong external suture.
For dogs experiencing kneecap dislocation, patella luxation repair realigns the kneecap, ensuring long-term stability and improved movement.
Trauma and fractures in pets can cause severe pain and mobility issues. Veterinary fracture repair stabilizes broken bones, promotes healing, and restores function through splints, casts, or surgical fixation.
Cats rely on their legs for balance and climbing. Fracture repair in cats procedures ensure proper healing and pain relief.
Fractured legs in dogs require immediate medical attention, with surgical intervention to realign bones and ensure complete healing.
Fractured toes and paws can limit mobility. Treatment options include splinting, casting, or surgical repair depending on severity.
A surgical procedure for severe hip dysplasia or arthritis, hip replacement restores mobility and reduces pain by replacing the damaged joint with an artificial one. It is recommended for dogs that no longer respond to medication or other treatments.
A genetic condition affecting large breeds, hip dysplasia results in poor hip joint fitment, leading to arthritis and mobility issues. Treatment options include medication and surgical intervention based on severity.
For severe hip dysplasia or arthritis, total hip replacement (THR) restores joint function with an artificial implant, significantly improving mobility and comfort.
Hip luxation, a dislocation of the hip joint, can result from trauma or joint disease. Treatment includes manual realignment or surgical correction for stability.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat joint conditions with small incisions, reducing trauma and promoting faster recovery.
Arthroscopy helps diagnose and treat joint disorders, including hip issues, while minimizing pain and recovery time.
A developmental condition causing joint pain and lameness, elbow dysplasia, can be effectively treated with arthroscopic cartilage removal.
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) affects young dogs and involves loose cartilage in the joints. Arthroscopy helps remove damaged cartilage and improve joint healing.
We offer a range of non-invasive options to manage joint pain and mobility issues in pets, helping them stay active and comfortable without surgery.
Tailored physical therapy helps restore movement, strengthen muscles, and reduce pain—supporting your pet’s recovery and overall joint health.
From rehabilitation to regenerative medicine, our non-surgical approach helps manage osteoarthritis symptoms and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Using the body’s own healing abilities, regenerative therapies promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support long-term joint function.
