Pulsed Signal Therapy

 

We are proud to be the only clinic in the state of Ohio to offer this service!

Cartilage and connective tissues help to support and protect our joints and our pet's joints. Throughout life as both routine and strenuous activities are performed, enormous stress can be placed on these structures.

Research has revealed that when these tissues are stressed, a lower power electric signal is produces. Scientists believe that this natural signal tells the body to repair, nourish and replace the damaged tissue. Disease, aging and injury can disrupt these signals. When this happens, the body is unable to make these necessary repairs. It is estimated that one in five adult dogs suffer from painful or degenerative joint diseases, which can seriously impact their quality of life.

Symptoms of a dog experiencing discomfort of degeneration can include:

  • Limping
  • Reluctance to perform daily activities
  •  Falling behind on walks
  • Difficulty rising after naps or in the morning
  • Stiffness
  • Repeated licking of a joint
  • Personality changes
  • Loss of appetite
  • Worsening of symptoms in cold or rainy weather
Pulsed Signal Therapy, or PST, can mimic these natural signals, activating the normal healing process and stimulating the growth and repair of tissue! It affords the body an opportunity to heal itself through non-invasive and pain-free means. Since the signal produced by the machine reproduces the signal already present in the body, there are no side effects.

The benefits of this therapy include a significant decrease in the severity of joint pain, swelling and range of motion. It improves mobility, activities of daily life and can even help our pets to sleep better! The success of these treatments have been documented in multiple clinical studies, including a six-month investigation in Munich that revealed a 65% reduction in pain in over three-quarters of dogs treated! Other combined studies have demonstrated significant and long-term pain reduction in over 35,000 dogs.
