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

Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, improving circulation and reducing pain. This therapy is particularly effective for:

✔️ Arthritis and chronic pain management
✔️ Neurological conditions and nerve injuries
✔️ Post-surgical recovery and mobility support

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

Hydrotherapy: Underwater Treadmill

Water therapy in our underwater treadmill provides a low-impact way to improve:

✔️ Strength and endurance
✔️ Joint flexibility and mobility
✔️ Recovery from injury or surgery

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

Advanced Therapies for Pain Relief & Healing

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy stimulates healing in tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues, helping to:
✔️ Reduce inflammation
✔️ Accelerate tissue repair
✔️ Relieve chronic pain

It’s a highly effective non-invasive treatment for orthopedic injuries, joint disease, and soft tissue discomfort.

PEMF Therapy

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy uses electromagnetic waves to:
✔️ Stimulate cellular repair
✔️ Enhance circulation
✔️ Reduce pain and inflammation

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

Class IV Laser Therapy

Laser therapy promotes deep tissue healing by improving circulation and stimulating cell regeneration. It’s ideal for:
✔️ Post-surgical healing
✔️ Arthritis pain relief
✔️ Soft tissue and joint injuries

Laser therapy is quick, painless, and effective, making it a great long-term option for chronic pain management.
