Rehabilitation and Integrative Care
Do you have a pet dealing with lameness, an
athletic dog who isn’t performing as well as
usual, or a senior pet dealing with arthritic pain?
VSC Rehabilitation and Integrative Care offers progressive and innovative
medicine for diagnosing and treating changes in your pet’s ability to move
or perform, acute or chronic pain management and/or quality of life. We can
facilitate and even improve recovery from surgery, especially orthopedic or
neurologic surgery, and sometimes offer an alternative to surgery.
Appropriate treatment options for dogs and cats will be discussed following
a comprehensive exam. Some of our available treatment options include:
• Underwater Treadmill
• Therapeutic LASER
• Acupuncture, including LASER-Acupuncture or
• Electro-Acupuncture where appropriate
• Therapeutic Ultrasound
• Acoustic Compression Therapy (ACT)
• Therapeutic exercise programs
• Conditioning exercise programs (e.g., Athletic Club)

Sponsorship
We are always looking for ways to generate alternative sources of revenue so
that we may provide exceptional programs and events at as little or no cost to our
residents. Things were a little tougher due to the pandemic; however, this past
year we were still able to generate $48,400 in sponsorship revenue thanks to the
efforts of our partnerships and communications specialist, Wendy Friedman, and
superintendent of communications and marketing, Mike Terson. We looked for
creative ways to engage our sponsors during the pandemic, including our digital
program guides and involvement in virtual classes and social media mentions.
We had a total of 49 corporate sponsors this past year - a decrease of only 2
from last year.
