CANINE REHABILITATION & PERFORMANCE
At AIM Canine, we understand that your dog’s mobility, comfort, and overall well-being are essential. Whether your dog is recovering from an injury,managing chronic pain, or training for peak athletic performance, our customized rehabilitation programs provide expert support at every stage of life.
Dr. Carrie Schlachter brings her expertise in canine rehabilitation, sports medicine, and pain management to help dogs regain function, reduce discomfort, and improve their quality of life. From post-injury recovery to senior wellness and athletic conditioning, we offer a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and performance care.
Injury Rehabilitation
Helping your dog recover from an injury is our priority. Using evidence-based rehabilitation techniques, we focus on:
✔️ Reducing pain and inflammation.
✔️ Restoring mobility and joint function.
✔️ Rebuilding strength safely and effectively.
Each rehabilitation plan is customized to your dog’s specific injury and recovery goals, ensuring a smooth return to their everyday activities or competitive pursuits. Whether recovering from surgery, a soft tissue injury, or neurological impairment, our team provides targeted therapies and movement strategies to support healing.
Fitness for Older Dogs
Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down. Maintaining mobility and muscle strength is essential for your senior dog’s quality of life. Our gentle, low-impact fitness programs help improve:
✔️ Joint health and flexibility
✔️ Muscle strength and endurance
✔️ Pain relief from arthritis and age-related conditions
Using therapeutic exercises and hands-on therapies, we help your dog stay active and comfortable for as long as possible.
Athletic Dog Fitness & Performance Exams
Athletic and working dogs have unique physical demands that require specialized care to keep them performing at their best. Our fitness programs and performance exams evaluate:
✔️ Strength and endurance
✔️ Flexibility and joint mobility
✔️ Injury risk factors and areas for improvement
Whether your dog participates in agility, obedience, herding, flyball, dock diving, or other canine sports, we develop programs to enhance performance, prevent injury, and optimize recovery after strenuous activity.
Chiropractic Care
Canine chiropractic therapy focuses on improving spinal mobility and nervous system function, helping to:
✔️ Alleviate pain from injuries or chronic conditions.
✔️ Enhance movement and flexibility.
✔️ Boost athletic performance and prevent compensatory issues.
This gentle, hands-on approach benefits dogs recovering from injuries, mobility issues, and postural imbalances.
Acupuncture for Dogs

✔️ Arthritis and chronic pain management
✔️ Neurological conditions and nerve injuries

Acupuncture sessions are calming and effective, making them a favorite among dogs who need long-term pain relief.

This therapy is ideal for dogs with arthritis, orthopedic conditions, or weight-bearing limitations, helping them exercise safely without excessive strain.

It’s a powerful tool for dogs recovering from injuries, arthritis, or neurological conditions.
