TREASURE COAST ANIMAL REHABILITATION
AND FITNESS CENTER
825 18th St. | Vero Beach | 772.492.6066 | tcanimalrehab.com
One of the most difficult things for a pet parent is to see
their beloved animal in pain. Medication doesn’t always
seem to be the best or only answer. Treasure Coast Animal
Rehabilitation and Fitness Center in Vero Beach offers options to
improve the quality of life of pets in pain, with joint problems,
who are elderly, who are obese, who may be injured or who may
need a brace.
Veterinarian Amber Callaway Lewis, who is also a certified
rehabilitation therapist, and Adam Lewis started their specialty
practice a year ago. It has blossomed. They now have a vet tech
and two assistants. They offer in-water walking on a treadmill
for gentle exercise that doesn’t put a lot of weight on the joints,
cold laser therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, pulsed electromagnetic
frequency, manual therapy for massage, active and passive
range of motion, exercise programs, nutritional advice and more.
They also offer hospice help. Programs are personalized to fit the
needs of each pet.
If a brace is needed, they will evaluate the pet’s condition and
recommend the best supportive device. They can help manage
injuries including cruciate/knee, wrist, ankle, hip, and back. They
can also help with the tricky fitting of a dog to the right size and
shape wheelchair. A wheelchair can return a dog to a somewhat
normal life.
The practice now has an online pharmacy for prescription and
non-prescription needs.
