Understanding Traumatic Injuries in Canines
The path to recovery can be difficult for dogs that suffer life-threatening accidents, including being struck by a car. Deep tissue bruises, painful muscles, internal swelling, and in extreme situations, fractures or organ damage, are typical injuries. Traditional veterinary treatment usually consists of painkillers, rest, and, in severe cases, surgery. Even while these methods are important, they might not always provide complete relief or effectively aid the body’s inherent healing process.
Modern methods, such as bioelectric therapy, can promote quicker recovery, minimize inflammation, and improve cellular healing. Equiscope, a cutting-edge microcurrent technology, has demonstrated potential in promoting healing by addressing inflammation and pain at the cellular level.
Meet Potato: A Basset Hound’s Journey to Healing
After being tragically driven over by a truck, Potato, a 9-month-old Basset Hound, suffered severe pain along her psoas and ventral abdomen. She was obviously suffering, but an ultrasound revealed no internal damage or urinary tract injury.
Equiscope protocols was implemented to speed up her healing, with a focus on minimizing pain and swelling.
1. Initial Visit – Addressing the Pain
- Areas of Focus:
- Left Side: LI10, SP4
- Right Side: LI10, SP4
- Y Probe: Indicated
- Protocol Plan:
- Frequency Mode 1: .5 / 2 / 2.5 / 5 / 10 / 40
- Frequency Mode 2: .5 / 2 / 4 / 10 / 40
- Intensity Mode 1: 200
- Intensity Mode 2: 200
- Duration: 2 min
- Gain Added: 25
- Probes Used: Plates
- Post-Session Observations: Although lumbar spine pain had been noted, Potato’s pain significantly decreased. Her response suggested that lumbar support will be the primary focus of the following session.
2. Second Visit – Mobility Improvements
- Areas of Focus: BL 21-27 (both sides)
- Progress Since Last Session:
- Potato was more proficient at navigating her environment.
- Exhibited a little hesitancy when articulating movements.
- Eating healthily and socializing with companion animals.
- Although she greeted her dog friends, she opted not to run alongside them.
- Protocol Plan:
- Frequency Mode 1: 5/8/2/5/8/10/4
- Frequency Mode 2: .5/2/4/10/40/5
- Intensity Mode 1: 300
- Intensity Mode 2: 400
- Duration: 2 min
- Gain Added: 30
- Probes Used: Plates + L probe
- Post-Session Observations: Potato’s mobility improved, making it easier for her to urinate and climb stairs. If the owner allowed it, Sustenta would be included in her next session.
Looking Ahead: A Promising Recovery
Potato’s development shows how modern microcurrent rehabilitation, like the Equiscope, may help dogs recuperating from severe injuries control their pain and regain their mobility. Even while traditional veterinary care is still essential, incorporating bioelectric methods could help animals who are in pain.
