June 11, 2009 Press Release
Michelle Beck, DVM, CCRT joins the staff of Backlund Animal Clinic
Dr. Michelle Beck has joined the staff at Backlund Animal Clinic in West Omaha. Michelle follows in the footsteps of her father, Dr. Nels Backlund, who started the practice in 1977. Michelle grew up in Omaha and graduated from Millard West High School, Class of 1999. She earned a Bachelor of Science at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and went on to Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where she became a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2007. Michelle worked at Sylvania Vet in Ohio for a year before returning to Omaha.
Michelle also attended the Canine Rehabilitation Institute, a partner of Colorado State University, and is the first Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) in Nebraska. Michelle is using her experience to offer a new service through Backlund Animal Clinic, Canine Rehabilitation and Wellness, as the first and only certified physical rehabilitation service for dogs in Nebraska. Canine Rehabilitation and Wellness utilizes high technology, including an underwater treadmill, and personal touch to advance the overall health of dogs. "Dogs are our best friends and companions in life for leisure, work and recreation. Often the stress and injury they endure goes unnoticed and untreated," said Michelle. "At Canine Rehabilitation and Wellness, I work with dog owners to improve the physical activity of their pets so they can work and play healthier, and live happier."
