Digitherm Therapy Plus Laser Therapy Provides Optimal Health Benefits For Your Best Friend

by Dr. Kenneth Trippett, West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital

The Digatherm technology now available at West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital measures the radiated energy from the animals tissue. The difference in radiated energy is measured by temperature and color associated with change. The high-resolution camera and software can detect changes of less than 0.020C - that's 20 times more sensitvie than your fingers at detecting small changes in heat and 10 times more sensitive at detecting cold.

Various color palettes help us to visualize the changes as het and cold is conducted to the surface of the body. Hotter areas depict inflammation while cooler areas indicate a lack of circulation. This allows the staff of West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital detect trouble spots for your pets and allow them to develop a treatment plan.

Used in conjunction with our Companion Therapeutic Laser, our fuzzy friends will receive instant relief of pain, inflammation and swelling associated with soft tissue injuries, trauma, surgery, arthritis, and chronic everyday disorders. The Class IV laser delivers a large amount of light energy into the pet's body. When the light interacts with damaged cells, healing is accelerated, and pain is dramatically reduced. As our best friends age, recover from trauma or surgery, or simply need relief from everyday aches and pains, this advanced technology offers: Drug-Free, Surgery-Free, PainFree Relief.
