Integrative & Mobility Medicine Services

Providing therapeutic treatment plans to enhance mobility, reduce pain, and offer integrative treatment options to veterinary patients.

Located at 2089 SW 16th Ave. Gainesville, FL 32608

Welcome to the Integrative and Mobility Medicine Services, where we combine Western and traditional Chinese medicine, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and nutrition to provide comprehensive care for your pet. Our state-of-the-art facility features cutting-edge equipment like underwater treadmills and laser therapy.

During your initial evaluation, a veterinary student will take a detailed history and present it to a veterinarian, who will conduct a thorough physical examination and discuss diagnostic and treatment options with you. You may choose to leave your pet and return later for further testing or treatment.

We offer acupuncture and sports medicine and rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, underwater treadmill exercise, and laser therapy, to help pets with mobility issues. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and provide guidance on at-home exercises to support your pet’s recovery.
