Animal Clinic of Billings

The Animal Clinic of Billings has been taking care of our region's companion animals and their families since its founding in 1981 by Ken Brown, DVM.

The Animal Surgery Clinic opened in 2005 as an addition to the original clinic and reflects our commitment to provide high quality diagnostic services, medical, and surgical care for the sick and injured.

- Former physical rehabilitation therapy patients

Physical Rehabilitation Therapy: We utilize therapeutic exercise and a variety of other methods to improve function and promote healing. Physical rehab therapy helps decrease pain, improve cardiovascular fitness, and joint mobility, muscle strength and endurance. Companion animals, like their humans, often require physical rehabilitation to recover the ability to walk, regain the use of a limb, and to promote overall well-being after a serious injury or major orthopedic or spinal surgery.

To accomplish our physical therapy treatment goals, we combine:
- Low Impact exercise on land and water
- Manual therapy (joint mobilization)
- Massage
- Range of motion exercises
- Weight shifting and balance activities
- Heat and/or cold pack application
- Neuromuscular electrical stimulation
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
- Therapeutic ultrasound,
- Therapeutic laser therapy
- Swimming using our state of the art underwater treadmill
