🌿 Let’s Talk Herbal Medicine🌿

Herbal medicine can play a valuable role in supporting dogs alongside conventional veterinary care. When prescribed by a qualified veterinary surgeon, herbal treatments can help manage pain, inflammation, mobility issues, digestive concerns, anxiety, and overall well being — particularly in chronic or long-term conditions.

At Vet Rehab NI, herbal medicine is used as part of a **holistic, evidence-based approach**, tailored to each individual animal. Treatments are carefully selected, dosed, and monitored by our veterinary team, and can be used alone or alongside physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and medical management.

Meet Arlo 💙
A brilliant French Bulldog who recently attended our vet, Josie, for a full assessment.

With a tailored at-home plan of prescribed remedial exercises, Arlo is already showing the benefits 🙌 Strength, confidence, and movement are improving — and he absolutely rocked his first underwater treadmill session 💪💦

This is a great example of how combining a thorough veterinary assessment, targeted home exercises, and clinical hydrotherapy can make a real difference, even early on in a rehab journey.

Well done, Arlo — we’re so proud of you! 🐶✨

🐶 Tackling Pain in Dogs: Why a Multimodal Approach Works Best! 🏥💦
Managing pain in dogs isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. To truly help our furry friends feel their best, we need a multimodal approach—combining different therapies to target pain from all angles!
🔹 Physiotherapy helps restore movement, improve strength, and reduce stiffness.
🔹 Hydrotherapy provides low-impact exercise, easing joint stress while improving mobility.
🔹 Pain relief medications can support comfort when needed.
🔹 Weight management & lifestyle changes help reduce strain on joints.
By using a combination of treatments, we can help dogs recover faster, stay active longer, and enjoy a better quality of life. 💙🐾

Meet Alfie 💙
A gorgeous Hungarian Vizsla who attends our hydrotherapy and physiotherapy suite as part of a multimodal approach to managing IMPA (immune-mediated polyarthritis).

Alfie is a superstar on the underwater treadmill 💪💦 — especially when there’s a LickiMat generously covered in peanut butter involved 🥜😋 Motivation is everything!

Supporting Alfie’s journey is his brother Charlie, who comes along for moral support… and, let’s be honest, a few well-earned treats 🐶🐶❤️

IMPA can be challenging, but with a tailored combination of physiotherapy, clinical hydrotherapy, and close vet-led oversight, dogs like Alfie can stay strong, comfortable, and doing what they love.

😴🐶 Sunday Mood: Powered by Naps & Snacks 🐶😴
This is your weekly reminder that if the dog is having a lazy Sunday… so can you. 🛋️

✔️ Morning stretch
✔️ 3-minute zoomies
✔️ Back to bed like nothing happened
✔️ Waiting patiently (or not) for the roast dinner smells to reach the floor 🐾🍗

Who needs productivity when you’ve got a tail to wag and a sofa to hog?

Happy Sunday from the fluffiest member of the team! 🐕💤

PEMF ….. say what?🤔🤔

PEMF is a safe, non-invasive treatment that we offer in the clinic.

Patients often enjoy the therapy and get quite sleepy 😴 🥱 during it. Treatment usually starts twice weekly and then spreads according to the patient's needs.🫶

The science bit 👩‍🔬👨‍⚕️…. PEMF (or Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy) uses low-level electromagnetic stimulation to stimulate the cells🧬in our body. Every cell has polarity (like a battery), and magnets affect polarity. PEMF makes the mitochondria within our cells produce more ATP( adenosine triphosphate), which the body uses for energy. It reduces free radicals and improves the transport of ions like calcium and potassium across cell membranes, thereby improving overall cellular function.🤲

Concerning pain 😖PEMF changes the membrane potentials at the prostaglandin receptor sites of type C nerves reducing their effectiveness in transmitting pain signals to the brain. In recent years, researchers have confirmed that PEMF has a role in stem cell and osteogenic proliferation. PEMF is FDA-approved for stimulating bone growth and treating oedema and pain.

Scientists 👩‍🔬 have been able to show:

✅PEMF can reduce pain and swelling after surgery

✅PEMF can reduce chronic pain

✅PEMF can help with fracture healing

✅PEMF can help reduce cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis and improve the functional performance of patients after one month of therapy.

Ask in the clinic if you want to know more or book a course of treatment.🫶🐾🐶

Meet 8-month-old Teddy, a golden retriever pup with the cutest little worried brow 🥺💛 (how could you not fall in love?)

Teddy attended our clinic for a full musculoskeletal and gait assessment with our vet, Josie. Following his assessment, Teddy has been referred for X-rays, and we’re hoping to follow up with him in a few weeks once results are availabl,e so we can put the best plan in place for him as he grows.

Such a lovely boy, and we’re looking forward to seeing him again soon 🐾💕
