The Assisi Loop uses a targeted electromagnetic field. Pulsing that electromagnetic field near a conductor (such as muscle, tendons, or skin) will induce current flow in the conductor. It works of a principle similar to acupuncture. The Assisi Loop® is a FDA-cleared Non-Pharmaceutical Anti-Inflammatory Device (NPAID®). She also got daily treatment at home with the Assisi Loop (Assisi Animal Health was kind enough to send us one when they heard that the “famous athlete” Gretel was injured). She spent some time on strict crate rest – laying still in her crate unless I was carrying her out to go potty or we were laying with her on the couch (and holding her tight so she couldn’t jump off).ĭuring that first two weeks, Gretel got a few cold laser treatments at the vet. Instead we went with conservative treatment. Gretel’s IVDD was in stage 2 so she didn’t require surgery. My goal with Gretel was to 100% follow the recovery plan given to us by her vet and rehab specialist and then do some ongoing things at home to help keep her active and injury free. Although mild by comparison to some issues, I’ve deal with chronic injuries myself so I know it’s possible. I see people every day that overcame physical limitations and continue to be active in the outdoors. When Gretel injured her back, and was diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), I was determined that this would just be a blip in our journey together.
