Pulsed magnetic therapy is a form of Canine Rehabilitation offered at Valley Veterinary Hospital and Squibnocket Animal Center in CT. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell. Improved blood supply increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Improved calcium transport increases absorption of calcium in bones and improves the quality of cartilage in joints, decreasing pain dramatically. Acute and even chronic pain -also caused by osteoporosis- may disappear completely. It is used for treatment of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other injuries.  It  has no side effects and is used extensively in Europe on humas as well as animals.  There are many scientific studies on the degree of effectiveness of Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy. It was found that disturbances in blood circulation and in metabolism play a key role in the development of diseases. 

    This form of therapy helps to return the regenerative capabilities by repairing any disturnbances.  It allows an increase of proteoglycans and collagen to aid damaged cartilage.  Application of pulsed electro magnetic energy is based on more than 30 years of worldwide research carried out by renowned scientists.  The treatment protocol is 9 consecutive treatments, each lasting for thrity minutes.  Improvement  with this type of therapy lasts for several weeks.
