Overview

Animal Wellness & Rehabilitation Center In Knoxville, TN. Animal Wellness & Rehabilitation Center focuses on bringing the best parts of several different approaches, to bring the pets of East Tennessee comprehensive and holistic veterinary care. "We understand that your pet is a member of your family. As such, you want the best medical care, and you deserve to understand all of the options available to you." The practice offers conventional, integrative and rehabilitation services and describes itself as a Rehabilitation Referral Center: "A rehabilitation exam is more comprehensive than an exam performed in a general checkup. Although a thorough general examination is also done, additional features of a rehab exam include a comprehensive neurological and orthopedic exam." Our integrative services offer the best of conventional and holistic methods. An integrative veterinarian understands that there may be multiple treatment options for any given diagnosis

"AWRC was founded in the hopes of partnering with pet parents so that they will have the knowledge of all available options for their pets. Ultimately, the veterinarian and pet parent need to work side by side to determine what the best options for each individual pet will be." There are lots of big changes coming to AWRC in 2026: "In January, all of our doctors received training in Piezoelectric Shockwave Therapy and Dr. Pittman purchased an outstanding shockwave unit that does not require sedation to be used- the results are tremendous."

Mission — The mission of AWRC is to partner with pet parents to determine the best medical options for their individual pets and to promote health, wellness, and the human-animal bond. We use the excellence of modern technology coupled with the miracle of natural treatments
