Geriatric pets are living longer, and the gap between managing their decline and improving their quality of life often comes down to utilizing the right tools. Understanding how and when to combine the right therapeutic modalities with rehab can meaningfully support mobility and strengthen the bond between clients and their aging pets.
Join Dr. Kelly Vernon for a practical, case-driven session above that shows you how to combine multiple modalities for the best management of geriatric patients.
Dr. Vernon discusses how acupuncture, laser therapy, manual therapy, and targeted exercises can work synergistically to optimize home care in this special patient population and shares case examples from her mobile practice to illustrate what a practical multimodal approach can look like.
