"Luke" checks out what is going on outside the window while his E-Stim is adjusted.  He is receiving E-Stim for pain relief and nerve stimulation following surgery for a ruptured disc.  The smaller hand-sized unit next to Luke is a Pelvic Floor Stimulation unit. 

The Electrical Stimulation Machine can be used for the following purposes:
          - Pain Relief
          - Promote Healing
          - Reduce Edema
          - Retard Muscle Atrophy
                    (during a period of disuse such as temporary
                     paralysis)
          - Regain Strength after Disuse or Nerve Trauma
                    (due to injury or surgery)

The E-Stim unit is exactly the same type used in human physical rehabilitation, and is used in the same manner.  The current is applied at a rate that produces a comfortable tingle or mild muscle contraction.  Dogs enjoy their E-Stim treatments- frequently relaxing so much that they fall asleep.

We also offer Pelvic Floor Stimulation for dogs with urinary or fecal incontinence due to spinal trauma.
