PST (Pulsed Signal Therapy)

What is PST?

PST is a non-invasive treatment that has been successfully used in human medicine in Europe for various debilitating conditions since 1994.  It has just recently been approved for use in dogs and cats here in the USA.  PST provides a specific physiological signal carried on a series of magnetic field pulses to the treatment site(s).  These uniquely specific energy parameters are transmitted through injured tissue to target the affected area via direct induction.  It induces a tiny electrical signal that mimics physiological stimulus that normally occurs in healthy tissue, thus stimulating cellular repair.  In the case of damaged and/or arthritic joints, it stimulates the production of new cartilage. 

We are very excited about this new treatment modality because it truly offers a treatment that addresses the underlying problem (creating new and healthy cartilage, bone and other connective tissue), and does not just treat the symptom of pain.  PST is breakthrough technology which will allow many pets to live longer and happier lives.  Not only is PST effective and safe, it represents a significant costs savings by eliminating or reducing the chronic use of pharmaceuticals.

What Conditions can benefit from PST?

• Osteoarthritis
• Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) – any joint
• Tendon/Ligament damage
• Soft Tissue Trauma & Wounds
• Bone Union
• IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease)

What is the Course of Treatment?

PST provides long-term benefits with no safety issues.  It usually requires only one course of treatment to provide sustained relief of pain and restoration of normal mobility as demonstrated in long-term follow-up studies.  The protocol for PST treatments is very simple and convenient.  Each pet receives nine 30-minute sessions of PST therapy.  The pet is simply coaxed to lie down on the PST treatment platform and the treatment site(s) will be comfortably targeted for the electromagnetic pulses.

When will I see results?

Some pets begin to show improvement within the first 2-3 weeks of treatment.  Research shows that most pets will begin to show the most significant improvement in 8-12 weeks following treatment and this is probably a more realistic expectation.  In pets, the success rate approaches 90%. For most pets only one course of therapy is necessary in their lifetime.  Some cases have shown benefit from 6 months to 2 years.
