Alternative Therapies

We are pleased to offer multiple treatment modalities that provide a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free, drug-free option treat a variety of conditions and can be performed in conjunction with, and sometimes in place of, existing treatment protocols.

Applications include:

  • Treatment of arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or hip dysplasia
  • General pain management (sprains, strains, and stiffness)
  • Post-surgery pain (spays, neuters, declaws, and other surgeries)
  • Skin problems (hot spots, lick granulomas, infections)
  • Dental procedures
  • Fractures and wounds (bites, abrasions, and lesions
  • Neurological conditions
  • Ear infections

 

Laser Therapy 

PulseVet

Assisi

 

Uses LIGHT energy

 

Uses SOUND energy Uses ELECTROMAGNETIC signal
Utilized for more acute and /or superficial conditions and body areas than Pulsewave therapy. Laser therapy is FDA approved and peer reviewed. Creates a higher energy output that penetrates deeper than laser therapy. Utilized more for deep tissue, bone, and chronic conditions. Backed by over 15 years or research. Utilized for very minor issues or as an adjunct treatment with laser or Pulsewave to extend initial therapy. Assisi products are FDA cleared & peer reviewed.
 

Treatments are generally 2x per week for 8 treatments.

 

Treatments are generally 1-3 treatments. Treatments are done in home and as needed.

With laser therapy, light energy (photons) is applied to stimulate tissue. Therapeutic lasers stimulate cellular metabolism, fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition and enhance angiogenesis.

Additionally, they can provide pain relief through increased secretion of serotonin, increased release of endogenous opiates, decreased inflammation and blockage of afferent C fiber depolarization.

This uses high-energy sound waves. Sound waves cause a biological response to the tissue at a cellular level. Responses such as cytokine release to modulate inflammatory response, neovascularization, release of angiogenic growth factors, improves fiber alignment in tendon & ligament repair, protects chondrocytes, releases BMP to aid in cellular bone production and recruits mesenchymal stem cells to the treated area. Pulsewave treatments help relieve pain, increase mobility, and promote healing.

All cells and tissues in the body have their own electromagnetic field. When cells are diseased or damaged, the electrical gradient across the cell membrane is disrupted, and the electromagnetic field in the body is altered.

Applying PEMF generators have been shown to increase certain molecules (such as Nitric Oxide) that help restore the normal electromagnetic field in the body. PEMF therapy is used to decrease pain and inflammation and stimulate tissue healing.
