For Vets

Back on Track is strictly a referral center for rehabilitation. Although a licensed veterinarian runs our center, general care issues will be referred back to the primary care veterinarian or on to a specialist for treatment. Our staff provides you with updates and progress reports in order to keep you informed of your client's/patient's treatment. Therapy is a complementary service to general practice and by no means replaces traditional veterinary care.

We have consulted on various cases with vets, surgeons, physical therapists and owners from across the country, while centering our practice in the Pacific Northwest. We have performed initial therapy for several long distance cases, then coordinated ongoing follow-up care with the pet's local vet and caregivers.

As the longest standing Veterinary Physical Therapy and Fitness Center in the Pacific Northwest, we at Back on Track have treated hundreds of cases and find the ongoing experiences invaluable in the evaluation, and treatment of your patients. Our pre-treatment procedures involve obtaining as much information as possible about the patients including history, issues and pertinent medical information which may affect the patient's recovery.

We treat cases involving osteoarthritis, dysplasia, lumbosacral disease, spinal trauma, neuropathies, orthopedic trauma, soft tissue injuries, obesity, general fitness, and compensatory injuries. Our patients include working dogs, competitive athletes, therapy dogs, retired racing dogs, rescue dogs, amputees, paralyzed pets, Schutzhund dogs, and family pets, including cats.

When you have patients that suffer from any mobility-compromising conditions, ask us how therapy may help. Please call our office (503-546-8995) to schedule a conference with Dr. Bianca Shaw or e-mail your questions to backontrackvetrehab@yahoo.com
