Advanced
Neurologic Care
Neurologic injuries and spinal conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when your pet suddenly loses mobility or coordination. At Kinetic Veterinary Specialists, our team provides advanced diagnostics and neurosurgical solutions designed to relieve pressure, restore function, and give families clarity during stressful times.
Our specialists use precise imaging, minimally invasive techniques, and integrated rehabilitation to help pets recover strength and confidence. From initial evaluation to recovery, we walk you through every decision with honesty and empathy.
Conditions We Treat
Our hospital manages a full range of neurological and spinal disorders, including:
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)
Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disc herniations managed with advanced imaging and decompression surgery when indicated
Spinal Fractures and Luxations
Stabilization procedures restoring alignment and protecting the spinal cord
Congenital and Developmental Malformations
Atlantoaxial instability, hemivertebra, and other structural spinal conditions
Nerve Root Compression and Tumors
Diagnostic imaging and surgical options to remove or decompress affected tissues
Peripheral Nerve Injury and Lameness Evaluation
Diagnosis and management for trauma-related or degenerative nerve conditions
Each case begins with a thorough neurologic exam and imaging, followed by a clear discussion of options, prognosis, and expected recovery time.
The Kinetic Difference
Precise Imaging and Diagnosis
MRI, CT, and fluoroscopy provide detailed insight into spinal structures, allowing for accurate localization before any surgery is planned.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Whenever possible, we use smaller incisions and advanced surgical tools to minimize trauma, shorten recovery, and improve comfort.
Integrated Rehabilitation
Post-surgical recovery begins early with targeted physical therapy, laser, and underwater treadmill therapy to rebuild muscle and improve coordination.
Continuous Communication
Families and referring veterinarians receive timely updates and clear written summaries at every stage of care.
What Recovery Looks Like
Recovery timelines vary depending on the diagnosis and degree of neurologic injury, but most pets begin therapy within days of surgery.
Typical recovery plan includes:
Strict rest during initial healing phase (2–4 weeks)
Gradual introduction of controlled movement and assisted standing
Rehabilitation to rebuild proprioception, muscle tone, and stability
Home care instructions and recheck imaging as needed
Throughout recovery, we monitor progress closely and adjust the plan for each pet’s specific needs.
When to Seek Neurologic Evaluation
Prompt evaluation is essential if your pet shows any of the following:
Sudden loss of balance or coordination
Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs
Dragging hind limbs or crossing legs while walking
Crying out or reacting to touch along the spine
Sudden incontinence or loss of tail movement
Early intervention improves the chances of full recovery and prevents further spinal damage.
Collaboration with Your Veterinarian
We maintain open communication with your primary care veterinarian to ensure seamless coordination of diagnostics, surgery, and aftercare. Together, we create a treatment plan that balances expertise, compassion, and your pet’s comfort.
