At Tenafly Veterinary Center in Tenafly, NJ, we believe the best care for your dog combines the power of modern veterinary medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies. These integrative treatments work alongside traditional care to reduce pain, support healing, and improve your dog's overall quality of life.
Our Complementary Therapy Options for Dogs
Class IV Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce pain and inflammation, stimulate tissue repair, and accelerate healing at the cellular level. It's painless, drug-free, and most dogs visibly relax during treatment. We use laser therapy for:
- Arthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Hip dysplasia and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- Post-surgical recovery and wound healing
- Muscle and ligament injuries
- Hot spots, skin infections, and open wounds
- Back pain and nerve pain
Adequan & Librela Injections
Adequan (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is a disease-modifying injectable that protects joint cartilage, reduces inflammation, and supports joint fluid quality in dogs with osteoarthritis. Librela is a monthly monoclonal antibody injection that targets and blocks a specific pain signal responsible for OA pain — providing meaningful relief for many dogs who don't respond adequately to traditional pain medications.
Allergy Management & Immunotherapy
Chronic allergies cause significant discomfort and can lead to secondary skin and ear infections. We provide comprehensive allergy evaluation including intradermal testing and blood allergy panels, followed by allergen-specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization) to address the underlying cause rather than just managing symptoms.
Physical Rehabilitation
Structured exercise programs and therapeutic techniques to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility — particularly valuable following orthopedic surgery, for dogs with neurological conditions, and for senior dogs with age-related mobility decline.
