New therapy patented for joint disease in pets

Young Harris, Georgia - PST-Vetâ122 Pulsed Signal Therapy, a new medical treatment to effectively treat osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, chronic joint disorders, rheumatoid disease, back pain and sports-type injuries in small

animals is now available at the Lake Chatuge Animal Hospital in Young Harris, GA.

Pulsed Signal Therapy significantlyrelieves the severity of joint pain, tenderness and swelling and improves mobility, allows restful sleep and restores the activities of daily living without drugs or surgery. The results have been shown to be long term. PST is the only treatment that is patented to initiate new cartilage growth. PST treatment is ideal for pets that do not tolerate pain medications, or are poor surgical risks.

PST consists of pulsed signals that mimic the normal healthy physiological signals, transmitted into the joint to promote the repair of damaged cells and to stimulate the repair and maintenance processes. PST focuses on the cause of the symptoms: the breakdown of cartilage and joint tissue. Pain and swelling can occur when the cartilage wears due to degenerative joint disease, overuse or injury. Pulsed Signal Therapy reproduces the bio-physically correct restoration signal and directs it into the joint, stimulating the existing cartilage and other damaged structures to repair themselves and therefore function more efficiently, thus accelerating the convalescent period and restoring the joint's function. "We also hope to reduce the convalescent period of pets following orthopedic surgeries. Research also shows evidence that PST enhances bone and tendon/ligament healing and we are looking forward to helping in the treatment of both acute and chronic injuries as well", said Dr. Tim Crowe, a Board Certified veterinary surgeon who performs special surgical procedures at LCAH.

PST sessions are non-invasive and the unit looks like a small CT unit. Pets receive nine, half-hour treatment sessions that take place on consecutive days. They simply lie down and relax on a soft bed inside of the open PST unit. The joint or body area is positioned within the PST coil device that emits the bio-physiological pulsed signal. Pulsed Signal Therapy is administered under the prescription and supervision of a veterinarian with the goal to reach short and long-term reduction of pain and a return to full functionality while improving the pet's quality of life.

"We are delighted to be able of offer this innovative new technology to pet owners", said Dr. Hilty Burr, owner of the Lake Chatuge Animal Hospital. "The overall cost of PST is comparable to that of long-term NSAIDS or analgesic drug use and is a non-invasive, totally painless therapeutic modality without any known or reported side effects", Dr Burr added.

PST technology was developed by German biophysicist and medical doctor, Richard Markoll, MD, PhD. Initial Double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies conducted under the direction of the Yale University School of Medicine on humans and published in the highly respected Journal of Rheumatology indicate that more than 70% of patients treated showed a significantimprovement. Similar studies that have been conducted in pets suggest significantimprovement approaching 90%. Clinical studies, conducted around the world, have confirmedthe initial results. To date, over a half million people and thousands of animals have received PST treatment at 750 clinics worldwide.
