- A large or small Assisi Loop can be used to treat the Achilles/calcaneal tendon area of the pet. Positioning is extremely important for optimal effect.
- Position the pet lying down either flat on the ground or up on their elbows with their rear limbs out to one side.
- Place the Assisi Loop directly over the injured area with the center of the Loop centered over the area. See Picture
- The signal generator can be positioned to help balance and stabilize the unit during treatment.
- The signal generator should be located in view of the person treating the pet.
- Do not leave the pet unattended when using this placement as small movements can change the positioning of the Loop and the area being treated.
- Turn the unit on by pressing the button on the front of the white rubberized signal generator; green lights will illuminate about once per second.
- Keep the unit in place for the full 15 minutes until the unit shuts off.
- Use the unit 4 times daily, if possible, for 5 days and then twice daily for an additional 5-15 days to speed healing and improve strength of the tendon as it heals.
- The Assisi Loop can be used once or twice daily if any discomfort or inflammation return, at any point, to this location.
- There should be a minimum of 2 hours between treatments for optimal nitric oxide enhancement.
