  • Electronic Current Therapy Reduces Canine Arthritis Pain and Depression

    2010 - 04.02

    Tuxedo is considered as a loving adorable little guy. In his younger days, he was very active and seemed to enjoy the training that we did together, including running and going through tunnels. Aside from being adorable, Tuxedo gave me feats since he was such a pro at making messes and destroying things at my apartment such as couch pillows, designer shoes, expensive throw rugs. Name it. He would attack it as long as it is within Tuxedo’s reach. Dog Pain Relief

    I sat down the computer to look for answers online when Tuxedo destroyed a very sentimental item from my childhood. Why was this dog so hyper? What was it that torments this little soul to cause such messes each day and cost me so much? I have been wishing peacefulness and sense of calm for Tuxedo. 

    Then, he did calm down a bit as Tuxedo grows older. But then, he appears to pick up a new trouble. I observed symptoms of having stiff joints from Tuxedo. I wasn’t sure if he was in pain or not, so I sat down at the computer once more, looking for a list of signs and symptoms that might give me a firm answer. I wanted to do whatever I could to make sure he was comfortable because I hated the idea of knowing that he was in pain. 

    Tuxedo’s stiffness meant trouble getting around. He was not able to maneuver the small set of doggy steps next to my bed to reach his favorite spot to nap in the sunshine during the day. Knowing that he might be depressed would really break my heart. Pet Pain Relief

    Then I find myself researching online again. It sure is better than searching in our local libraries, which were limited. I discovered Midwest  Microcurrent, a veterinary clinic that uses electronic current (also known as cranial electrotherapy stimulation) to reduce or eliminate many symptoms that pets might suffer from while searching for what might be troubling Tuxedo and how we could resolve the issues, 

    Our introductory appointment with Dr. Ava Frick and her team provided a diagnosis of canine arthritis and depression for Tuxedo. Being alarmed upon hearing this, I was then alleviated to know that with the diagnosis in hand, we were ready to move forward on a journey toward treatment. 

    Dr. Frick explained that  could continue Tuxedo’s treatment session at home by buying our own Alpha-Stim machine once we start Alpha-Stim microcurrent treatments at her office. This will free me from the one-hour drive to the clinic everyday. 

    I credit Dr. Frick and the staff at Midwest Microcurrent for bringing the old Tuxedo back to me. Animal Chiropractic
