Pro-Stride: IRAP & PRP
Pro-Stride is a cutting edge procedure where enriched platelets from the patient’s blood are injected into the affected area to promote natural healing of the soft tissue. This is most effective when used for increasing mobility in pets with knee or leg, hips, & back pain. This and other regenerative therapies offer promising results in delaying life-threatening diseases or other injuries. Often times, theses therapies offer the best result when used together. When combined with another stimulating therapy, such as Shock Wave or Laser Therapy, it has been shown to improve the response of the treatment. Ask your veterinarian if one of these treatments are right for your pet.
Shockwave Therapy
Our focused shock wave therapy utilizes acoustic pressure waves to target specific problem sites. This type of therapy immediately reduces pain and inflammation in the affected tissue. Shock wave therapy has positive healing effects on soft tissue and bone. The directed pressure waves accelerates tissue repair and cell growth by stimulating the release of growth factors, decreasing the healing time for certain conditions.
Laser Therapy
Our medical laser therapy delivers focal continuous or pulsed wave energy directly to an affected area. The directed energy accelerates tissue repair and cell growth enabling faster healing of superficial wounds and deep tendon lesions. The laser reduces scar tissue formation and has anti-inflammatory effects. The directed energy stimulates individual cells to increase synthesis of healing factors. Cell activation promotes micro-circulation, tissue oxygenation, and improves the rate of tissue regeneration.
