Combining Digital Thermal Imaging with Laser Therapy Provides Optimal Results

by Dr. Kenneth Trippett, West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital

Here at the West Hazleton Veterinary Hospital, our patients often present to us due to the result of a symptom or problem observed by their human. Unfortunately, our furry and feathered patients almost never tell us what is actually bothering them. My job as a veterinarian is to thoroughly evaluate, diagnose and then provide the best suitable care for your pet. Digital Therma Imaging allows non-invasive evaluation of our patients to help better diagnose and treat problems with nonspecific signs. It also allows us to find where the problem is located inside your pet so that we can provided targeted therapy.

Using this tool, we can more easily detect many disorders before they become a serious issue. These include arthritis, soft tissue injuries, impaired circulation, etc.

Once the problem, has been diagnosed, Digitherm Imaging also allows us to objectively measure the progress of therapy. As an added bonus, you will love the pictures.

This tool is also very useful in combination with our laser.

Treatment with our therapeutic laser allows targeted reduction in pain and swelling for chronic problems and is a great at helping acute injuries to heal more rapidly.

Continued from page 32 intense that some American schools banned the toys as schoolyard trade deals grew into full blown arguments. Teachers complained that the tiny bells distracted students from learning. Despite the criticism from school administrators and teachers over the little plastic items, bell charms were a fun collecting trend, and collecting them was not falling by the wayside—not by a long shot. Some report that all the academicbased hoopla about banning bell charms just made them more desirable and more sought after by kids. Bell charms came in boxed sets on a chain and individually. Some wore them as jewelry on chains, others just kept them close at hand. No matter the goal of a bell charm collection, they were colorful and fun. Today, a large and diverse collection of bell charms can bring you some cash from collectors. Most range in value between $5-$10 each for typical examples, $15-$20 each for rare examples, and large collections with original link chains filled with charms command several hundred to thousands of dollars with devoted 1980s bell charmers.
