The Edmonton Veterinary Rehabilitation Clinic is the first veterinary rehabilitation clinic in Alberta to be recognized and licensed by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association. Veterinary physical rehabilitation is an often over looked, but evolving field in veterinary medicine and as veterinary medicine continues to become more advanced, the rate of success for animals surviving from injuries and illnesses has greatly increased.

The goal of veterinary rehabilitation is to facilitate a patient’s recovery from orthopedic and neurological surgery, injury and illness. We achieve this by offering a unique collaboration of veterinary medicine and veterinary rehabilitation. Our rehabilitation team is comprised of a Veterinarian and Registered Animal Health Technologists that have an extensive background in the veterinary medical profession and share a common passion for offering progressive medicine to our patients that will increase the longevity and quality of their lives.

Our veterinarian is certified in canine rehabilitation and has advanced training, expertise and experience in the diagnosis and management of injury or illness causing pain and loss of function. Our Registered Animal Health Technologists are also certified in canine rehabilitation and have advanced training in the application of Therapeutic Modalites and Therapeutic Exercises.

 

The Edmonton Veterinary Rehabilitation Clinic requires a referral for rehabilitation from the patient's regulareterinarian. An initial consultation will then be performed by our certified veterinarian. This evaluation will include an extensive orthopedic and neurological exam, gait analysis, pain assessment, goniometric and girth measurements. Based on our veterinarian’s findings during this evaluation, a customized rehabilitation program will be created which focuses on Therapeutic Modalities and Therapeutic Exercises.

A Rehabilitation Program incorporates Therapeutic Exercises, Hydrotherapy, Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Modalities to achieve better pain management, conditioning, increased joint mobility, functional mobility, muscular strength and endurance.
