Abstract

Therapy vibration bed for dogs
for the treatment of chronic back problems in dogs such as muscle pain or nerve irritation in disc protrusions or incidents using circular horizontal vibration.

Description

The Therapy Vibration Couch for Dogs is a device which with chronic back complaints of dogs for the purpose of alleviating the symptoms or healing is applied. It can be so in many cases of disc discomfort an otherwise necessary operation will be bypassed, which often in older Dogs leads to problems.

in the Particular in degenerative diseases of the intervertebral discs is the following Determine the course of the disease.

By a lack of sufficient movement but also arises due to age a missing correct measure Tension and final tension and a harmonious interaction all muscles, tendons and joints. Thus, stay in the area the intervertebral discs provide the normal impulses and stimuli.

Thereby there is a poor supply of nutrients to the disc, which leads to a decrease in elasticity.

The Intervertebral discs thus the intervertebral spaces become smaller and the Spinal nerves as well as the outgoing nerve cords are concentrated or squeezed in advanced status.

This leads to an increased and in the course of excessive irritation of the constricted nerves supplied muscles.

The Muscle tension increased strengthened by this Nerve irritation and leads to a spasm in the area of the spinal muscles.

Thereby Another mechanical crushing of the intervertebral disc occurs, which is what happens an even stronger one Irritation of the outgoing and muscle supplying nerve strands Episode has.

The Muscles cramp and it creates a strong pain, which next to a movement restriction to a more and more obsessive attitude leads, to avoid the pain. This obsessive attitude is intensified further a pinch of the nerve cords, which in the further course leads to a total inability to move. Of the Dog can not walk or straighten up and it becomes an operation required.

With The therapy vibration bed will make it possible to have a treatment to apply the entire organism of the dog in the way that the entire animal is on the couch and therefore all Organs, soft tissues muscles, joints and energy pathways excited by vibrations and be irritated. These vibrations are horizontal, ie at the level of the lying surface and are circular with a frequency of 25 hertz.

Of the Advantage of a circular Oscillation is the following: no matter which position the individual joints to each other, these are always in a vibrating motion offset and thus irritated, resulting in a linear or lifting movement can not be reached, since parallel aligned joints do not resonate can. Due to this continuous vibration, there is an oversupply of information in the form of stimuli to the reflex system of the body, which these in the Extent not can handle. The result is a drastic reduction in muscle tension and also the cramping of the affected muscles. This has not only a relief of pain but also an extension the blood vessels, what an increase in fluidity of blood.

The Blood supply in all organs and muscles is improved though also the outer areas The fibrous ring of the intervertebral disc is increasingly supplied with blood. This preserves the intervertebral disc has the necessary nutrients to regenerate and their original one Shape almost again to maintain and stabilize these. Due to this enlargement of the Intervertebral spaces follows a significant decrease in the irritation of the nerve cords, which Freedom from pain and abandonment of compulsory posture has the consequence.

A Acceptance of this treatment is very high in dogs as it is from the "patient" as very pleasant is felt. For the dog and also for a therapist strenuous physiotherapeutic measures could either be reduced or completely eliminated.

These Form of therapy is also by laymen in the familiar environment of the Dog easy to use and requires no prior knowledge.

Consequently may be a use of the therapy vibration couch in addition to the veterinary practice also after medical Instruction in private households.

Claims (2)

Canine therapeutic vibration couch for the treatment of chronic back pain in dogs such as muscle pain or nerve irritation in disc protrusions or incidents using circular ho rizontalschwingung. The therapy oscillation couch consists of the following components: Base plate (a) as a lying surface for the animal to be treated, consisting from a plastic coated wood panel or one made of plastic plate, which is resistant to moisture is with rounded corners and rounded edges. The Strength the plate is chosen material technically, the bending of the Plate largely prevented by resting a dog. The Strength will be between 2 and 3cm. The size of the sleeping area thus formed is depending on the average size of the dog breeds in two versions made: 100cm × 60cm and 60cm × 40cm The The top of the lounger is provided with a rubber pad to one To prevent slipping of a support corner. At a corner the plate is a hole (b), in which the vibration motor (c) is installed. This vibration motor is with an eccentric Mass (d) provided on its axis of rotation, which depending on the size of the plate a certain Has weight, so the couch in a certain amplitude swings. The engine is surrounded by a housing (s) into which a switch (f) is installed and the cable connection (g) without connector is led out At the narrower edge opposite the engine is an elongated on the lower surface of the plate Recess (h), which serves as a recessed grip for safe transport serves. Furthermore, there are at the bottom of each corner area the plate so-called Teewagenrollen (i), by their free mobility a vibration of the couch are not a hindrance and a change of location Liege with or without a dog to be treated.
