Old injuries that have healed can benefit from osteopathy too!
This horse had a hock injury when he was young; his radiographs are clear, but there is scar tissue. Osteopathy helped to soften the scar tissue and fascia and allowed him to feel more comfortable in that leg.

This sweet senior got their osteopathy treatment to ensure they're feeling their best!

It's important for us that we treat animals in places where they're most comfortable so that they can relax and let the treatment do the work. Some animals prefer to be outside, some in their house, some at our clinic. We make it work for them so they get the best results possible 💜

No one wants to see their animals not feeling their best... 💔

Osteopathy can help with…

🤕 Recovery
Whether recovering from an injury or rehabbing after surgery, osteopathy can assist in restoring motion, improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and supporting nerve function. This translates to improved healing ability and potentially increased return to normal everyday function.
Osteopathy has a great effect on painful conditions and we often see an improved ability to sleep and heal.

🤒 Support
Illness or chronic medical conditions often wreak havoc on the body. Everything from arthritis to incontinence can benefit from osteopathic therapy.
By supporting the function of anatomical structures, and ensuring good blood flow, drainage, and nerve signaling, osteopathy supports your pet. This often leads to a reduction in pain, a reduction of symptoms, and sometimes a reduced need for pharmaceutical support.

This adorable gal had a bad bout of back pain (suspected intervertebral disc disease) but thanks to her osteopathic treatment, she is feeling much better now!

If you notice changed behaviour, posture, or movement in your pet, don't wait. Book an osteo treatment to prevent further issues from occuring.

The Armstrong Veterinary Osteopathy version of "Group Therapy" 🐴

As we prepare to wrap up 2024, we want to give a shoutout to our team. Standing in freezing barns, dancing around to avoid getting toes stepped on, sweating through the summer, and driving all over the Maritimes for our clients of two and four legs.
And of course to our clients as well... it's our pleasure to help you feel your best and we love meeting and getting to know each and every one of you - humans and furry friends!
Here's to a wonderful 2025!
