- Degenerative joint disease/arthritis (e.g. hip dysplasia)
- Chronic pain

- and more.
Our facility offers:
- An underwater treadmill
- Low-level laser therapy
- Electrical stimulation
- Therapeutic ultrasound
- Therapeutic exercise equipment and exercise programs
- Conditioning programs for canine athletes, weight loss, and geriatrics
We encourage owner involvement and will tailor a home care maintenance program that fits your lifestyle and your pet’s individual needs. Our staff will keep you and your veterinarian updated with regular progress reports.
As a referral-only facility, if other medical conditions arise during your pet’s treatment at Therapeutic Options, you will be referred back to your pet’s regular veterinarian for evaluation and treatment of those conditions.
Once your veterinarian or veterinary specialist has decided to refer your pet to Therapeutic Options, the process is easy:
- Your veterinarian will fax us a referral form and give you our client information packet.
- You call our office at 724-898-2300 to schedule your initial consultation*.
- Fill out the registration form included in the client information packet and bring it to your first appointment.
- Your initial visit will include: an evaluation by a veterinarian and a technician certified in Canine Rehabilitation Therapy, an estimate of the frequency and length of time rehabilitation will be needed, the first rehabilitation session, and a home exercise program specific to the needs of your pet.
*If you prefer, you may call us directly and we will initiate the referral process through your veterinarian.
For your convenience, our referral and registration forms can be downloaded to your own computer.
