Testimonials
I credit Dr. Matheny and her amazing orthopedic support for the improved quality of life my beloved Miley experienced. Her mobility issues and joint pain was improved by Dr. Matheny’s laser and acupuncture treatments along with physical therapy. Her treatments always put “pep in her step.”

I can’t recommend highly enough Dr. Anna Matheny for physical therapy for dogs.
My dog, Oskar, has degenerative disk disease and arthritis and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Matheny comes to the house and works with him using a variety of techniques, including massage, acupuncture, and exercises. Each time she comes and works on him, I am impressed with her ability to “feel” what is happening for Oskar – where he is tight, how he is holding tension, how to release the tension. After every session, Oskar has much more mobility and exercise tolerance and his face is much more relaxed.
I never thought Oskar would be okay with acupuncture. He is an anxious dog when it comes to needles/medical procedures. But because of Dr. Matheny’s calm, compassionate, and confident approach, he has benefited from the muscle release acupuncture provides.
Dr. Matheny was the primary vet for Oskar at the practice I go to, but she has launched out on her own to provide pain relief for our companion animals. Working with someone with her veterinary expertise is an additional comfort to me. She collaborates with my current veterinarian.
I also enjoy the time spent chatting with and learning from Dr. Matheny.
Both Oskar and I look forward to her visits.

My dog Emma has a lot of orthopedic issues. Dr. Matheny has helped her recover from back pain, two TPLO surgeries, and elbow dysplasia. She is always able to modify her treatment plans according to Emma’s needs. She takes the time to explain what she is seeing and feeling, which I really appreciate.
On several occasions Emma has had severe back pain that was unresponsive to pain medicine and only got better when Dr. Matheny treated her with acupuncture. It is our go-to treatment now any time Emma starts slowing down. She looks forward to Dr. Matheny’s treatments and is usually asleep and snoring by the end!

Dr. Matheny took the time to thoroughly assess Benny's injury when he tore a ligament in his knee, patiently listening to my concerns and addressed each one. Benny has a severe heart condition that means he isn’t able to do normal exercise. Her understanding of rehabilitation techniques and variety of therapies meant that she was able to help him heal in a way that was safe for his heart. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Matheny demonstrated exceptional compassion, providing clear explanations and guidance every step of the way. Thank you Dr. Matheny!
