Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes specific electromagnetic frequencies to promote healing and well-being. At FVR we use an Assisi Mat to administer PEMF during acupuncture or joint mobilizations.

Dogs, can experience various musculoskeletal issues, such as arthritis, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries. PEMF therapy can help alleviate their discomfort and promote faster healing, leading to improved mobility and a better quality of life.

Cats, although often known for their agility, are not immune to age-related stiffness or injuries. With PEMF therapy, our feline patients can experience reduced inflammation and enhanced circulation, which aids in their recovery and keeps them comfortable as they age.
