- A small Assisi Loop can be used to treat the hock joint in small to medium dogs. A large- or giant-breed dog should use a large Loop. If both hocks are to be treated simultaneously, a large Loop should be utilized. 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.
- Identify the hock/tarsal joint(s) and place one or both joints in the treatment area. Lay the Assisi Loop over the area or if both hocks are to be treated then place the Loop between the hocks so as to treat them simultaneously. See Pictures
- 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 3-5 days. Treat twice daily for an additional 5 days or until pain is completely resolved. Then use as needed.
- There should be a minimum of 2 hours between treatments for optimal nitric oxide enhancement.
