Conditions Treated

Some of these conditions may require surgical treatment in conjunction with rehabilitation.

• Osteoarthritis - increased mobility, range of motion, decreased inflammation and need for medications
• Obesity - weight loss programs can be designed for each individual
  
• Hip dysplasia - builds supporting muscle mass, increased mobility & comfort
• Muscle injuries - speeds healing, decreases inflammation, prevents scarring, restores normal functional length
  
• Back injuries - increased muscle support to prevent reinjury, manage pain
• Spinal injury/IVDD - decreased spasticity, pain management, earlier ambulation
• Spondylosis - manage pain, maintain flexibility and strength
• Arthrodesis - faster adaptation, support of surrounding joints
• Joint replacements - faster adaptation, improves coordination & strength
• Fractures - faster recovery, prevents muscle contracture
• Cruciate injury - speeds and improves recovery, restores extension, decreases inflammation
• Amputation - adaptation, builds supporting muscles, management of pain
• Shoulder OCD - increased mobility, strengthening
• Elbow dysplasia - increased mobility, decreased inflammation, strengthening
• Joint dislocation - strengthens supporting muscles & ligaments, prevents reinjury
• Patellar luxation - strengthening of quadriceps, prevents reinjury
• Tendon injury - increased range of motion and strength, decreased inflammation and scar tissue
• Peripheral nerve injury - speeds recovery, functional adaptation, manages pain
• Neuromuscular disease - strengthening, adaptation, pain management
• Fibrocartilagenous embolism (FCE) - can hasten recovery, improve coordination
• Degenerative myelopathy (DM) - helps to maintain muscle function and prolong life
• Cauda Equina Syndrome - manages pain, maintains strength and function
• Vestibular disorders - improves balance and coordination, decreases injury
