Healing Tails Chicago is a veterinary rehabilitation and integrative pet care clinic in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood, specializing in canine physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and pain management. Led by veterinarian Dr. Arielle Herndobler, the clinic helps dogs and cats improve mobility, manage discomfort, and maintain a better quality of life through individualized treatment plans.

Healing Tails provides rehabilitation services for pets recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or experiencing age-related mobility challenges. The clinic works with animals affected by arthritis, hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries, spinal conditions, neurological disorders, and other issues that interfere with comfortable movement.

Its rehabilitation services include underwater treadmill therapy, therapeutic exercise, laser therapy, massage, stretching, and manual therapy. These treatments are designed to support strength, balance, flexibility, and recovery while addressing each pet’s specific physical needs.

The clinic also offers veterinary acupuncture and chiropractic care as part of its integrative approach to animal wellness. Additional services include orthotic fitting and customized home exercise programs that help pet owners participate in their animals’ ongoing care.

Unlike facilities where rehabilitation sessions may be handled primarily by assistants, Healing Tails emphasizes veterinarian-guided treatment. Each pet receives a comprehensive initial examination, followed by a personalized rehabilitation plan that can be adjusted as their condition and progress change.

The clinic prioritizes a calm, low-stress environment with comfortable examination areas, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement. Its approach also emphasizes communication and education, helping pet owners understand their animals’ conditions and treatment options.

For Chicago pet owners seeking specialized rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery support, or integrative veterinary care, Healing Tails Chicago provides individualized services focused on improving comfort, movement, and long-term well-being.
