Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

Assisi Loop

The loop offers a more direct healing option and is an FDA approved Non-Pharmaceutical Anti-Inflammatory Device (NPAID). The loop (which comes in two sizes) is placed over the affected area for 15 minutes 3-4 times a day. The loops can also be purchased by prescription for at-home use. The loop is good for 150 uses and is not rechargeable.

Therapeutic Exercise

Therapeutic Exercise, often termed TherEx, is the use of physical exercise using various therapeutic equipment to enhance certain movements and postures in order to develop muscle strength, balance, and flexibility. Commonly prescribed inside a therapy routine, therapeutic exercise can be done in the clinical setting and instructions sent home (on paper or via an online program) to continue several times weekly.

TENS

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) targets sensory nerves, which are responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. Gel-covered pads are placed over the targeted area and a small electrical current is passed through, creating a gentle “buzzing” sensation, providing pain relief and helping the body produce endorphins— hormones that act as the body’s natural painkiller. NMES (Neuromuscular Electrostimulation) works by sending low level currents to an injured muscle, stimulating it and causing it to gently contract, helping reverse muscle atrophy and support normal muscle movement.

Energy flows where intention goes.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) 

Can decrease inflammation and pain, increase the rate of tissue repair and regeneration, and has been FDA approved to heal bone fractures. This painless modality can be used in conjunction with acupuncture/rehabilitation sessions or daily at home. PEMF uses pulsing electromagnetic fields to jump start and accelerate normal biological cellular reactions. A small battery current is pulsed through a coil to create the electromagnetic field and initiate the biological cellular reactions. Cells contain electrically charged particles called ions that govern all cellular processes. When the body is stressed (by illness, competition, environmental factors or age) the cellular membrane that conducts the essential ions into and out of the cell becomes compromised and is unable to efficiently do its job of managing the transport of these ions. The PEMF generates a magnetic field that creates motion immediately and positively directly impacts these ions and membrane potential to stimulate them into action. The result is an increase in cellular communication and circulation, a decrease in inflammation and pain and a resulting acceleration of healing. There are no side effects seen with the use of PEMF.

Bio-Pulsed EMF Bed 

The mat offers a relaxing option for your pet to get treatment. They simply lay on the mat for a few minutes, up to 60 minutes. The mat has four large coils in it that create the magnetic field. You can feel the pulse from up to twelve inches away with a test magnet. They are available by prescription to purchase for at-home use in between sessions, and is rechargeable.
