The surgeon also let us know there is a acupuncturist at the hospital and she would definitely recommend that as part of her rehabilitation, as it can help get the muscles and nerves communicating with each other. I think we should try everything we can! |
Most definitely!! I used acupuncture on Magic as part of his rehab for his spinal injury. Also have the acupuncturist show spinal massage to help with circulation and stimulus. When she is ready underwater treadmill is great. Highly recommend this one. Also contrast bathing - hot 5 minutes on cold 5minutes on. Have them show you passive Range of motion for all the hindquarters - ie hip knee ankle.
Magic's rehab took a little over a year. If you have questions pm me. I'd love to help as I can
