Birch, a 14 year old greyhound
In late June of 2010 my 14 year old greyhound, birch, had pulse signal therapy at Pets In Motion in Crown Point, Indiana. I was familiar with PST because I had another greyhound treated a few years ago and a friend had the treatment for her greyhound. Prior to the treatment Birch could hardly walk to the end of the drieveway and back without laying down for a rest. He could not finish a meal in the standing position and often needed help getting up. He was losing weight and I feared he wouldn't last the summer. Shortlyafter the 9 PST sessions Birch as standing straighter. About a month later Birch could stand longer, he no longer needed help getting up and was gaining weight. By the time 2 months had passed he was walking longer and started to jog around the yard again. I was amazed at the success Birch had with the PST. I would not hesitate to recommend Pets In Motion for pulse signal therapy for any dog suffering from arthritis or any other debilitating or healing reason.

Our 14 yr old dog,  J.R. was diagnosed with arthritis of the hips.  J.R. lost mobility in his back hips to get up from a down position or to climb up and down stairs.  We looked for an alterative solution for J.R.'s arthritic hips for some relief other than medication.  We are blessed to find Pets in Motion LLC, . J.R. is now putting more weight on his back legs, going up and down stairs and takes him less time to get up after lying down. He has his puppy like moments where he wants to run and play now.  Everyday we see more and more improvement in J.R.'s  hip ability.  We are thankful to Pets In Motion to offer the alternative treatment of Pulsed Signal Therapy for our dog.

Meet Yoshi ,  Rick and Debbie Smith’s  5-year-old Sheba-Inu and beagle mix.  A few years ago Yoshi had an undetermined accident that resulted in intervertebral disc disease affecting his lumbosacral, back and hip areas.
“We always said he could fly before this happened; he was always jumping and climbing,” Debbie says.  “We’re really not sure what happened, but one day he was just in terrible pain.  He couldn’t run.  He couldn’t jump.  He couldn’t even get his back end up after lying down for a long time.  Our vet prescribed steroids and other medications, but they just weren’t helping.”
After learning about Pulsed Signal Therapy (PST) from a friend who used the treatment successfully for her greyhound that previously cried out in pain frequently, Debbie did some research but was dismayed to learn how far she would need to travel if her vet agreed that PST could help Yoshi.
“My vet wasn’t familiar with PST but encouraged us to give it a try,” she says.  “I was pleasantly surprised to receive a card in the mail from Pets In Motion that had recently opened up right here in Crown Point.”
Yoshi started PST treatments on June 20, 2010 and was finished nine days later.
“When we decided to go ahead with the treatments, I thought it would be great if they could take the pain away.” Debbie says.  “Anything else would be wonderful.  Barbara Hartley (owner of Pets In Motion) is terrific and Yoshi laid right there the whole time like he knew it was helping.”
At the beginning of October Yoshi started to run and play again.  A little more than a week later, he jumped up into his favorite La-Z-Boy chair for the first time in several years.
“It’s just amazing, and he’s not hurting,” Debbie says.  Since the process of rebuilding bone and cartilage takes some time, you can expect to see continuing improvements in mobility, restful sleep, and the activities of daily living, three to four months after the treatments are complete.

Thriller, a Pulsed Signal Therapy Triple Champion
Thriller is a high drive male Border Collie who needs to work. Remaining idle is torture to him. He wants to be doing something and the faster he can do it, the better. He has earned a breed championship, and obedience championship and got oh so close to an agility championship when he became hurt. The year of 2004, the injuries began. Periodically Thriller would come up lame after running agility. It was slight, always the right front, but would disappear as quickly as it appeared. Diagnosing it was difficult until it got much worse. A number of vets I took him to could not find anything wrong. Finally it became chronic enough I sought out Dr. John Sherman of Vethab Rehabilitation in Raleigh, NC who specializes in diagnosing and treating lameness in dogs. Dr. Sherman diagnosed the problem was in his toe. Over the course of the next two years, Thriller would injure 4 different front toes on both front feet. This was just the beginning.

We tried many treatments for these toe injuries – some worked, some didn’t. The last toe he injured became the most difficult to treat and did not respond to any of the previous therapies we tried including NSAIDS, nutritional supplements, ice, rest, injections, laser, and a brace. None of them worked and he continued to limp. We discussed toe amputation and set a date for the surgery. In the meantime, we tried a new therapy that had just arrived at the clinic called Pulsed Signal Therapy (PST). It involved 9 thirty minute sessions of the affected area in this machine on nine consecutive days and yet he still continued to limp after all 9 treatments had been completed. The toe amputation was looking more and more likely as 2 and 3 weeks post PST treatment went by and he still continued to limp. Then suddenly, around week 5 and 6 post PST treatment - he stopped limping. We were guardedly optimistic. Another week went by and he was still not limping.

He was allowed some freedom off lead for the first time in many, many months. The first few days he still looked great – no limping. Then, it started again. Back to the vet - toe was doing well, but abrasions on his pads were causing him to limp. The confined life for so long had made his pads very soft. Now that he had started to run again they were extremely vulnerable to rocks, gravel, and hard stubbly ground and so Thriller was fitted with some shoes. He in fact went through about 4 different pairs of shoes as he wore them out quickly. But what a happy dog – he was allowed to run again! In the meantime, I painted his feet everyday with a pad toughener, sometimes wrapped them if there was an open sore, strapped on his shoes, and watched him very carefully.

I began to think perhaps there was finally hope for Thriller to make a full recovery but running free outside was too hazardous to his feet. It was then March 2006 and my goal was to have him back at trials by the end of April. Keeping him in shape was critical to success so I purchased a treadmill, worked him up to 2 miles a day, and continued to treat his pads daily so he could also eventually run outdoors on grass and natural surfaces.

April arrived and 3 days before the trials he came up lame. Again, it was pad abrasions – not the toe. I wrapped his feet, treated them as best I could, and confined him to the house for the rest of the week. He made it through the trials without any sign of lameness. I continued to trial him several more monthsuntil he completed his agility championship in Sept of 2006. So what at times seemed like a totally impossible journey that we would never complete, finally came to a close. Many, many injuries later and avery close relationship with quite a few veterinarians, Thriller became just the 3rd Border Collie in history to earn a Breed Championship, Obedience Championship, Agility Championship, and hold a herding title. My dog has an incredible heart, an irrepressible spirit to keep going, and a total love of life for whatever it has to offer. He is a clown, an amazing athlete, a crowd pleaser, and a beautiful dog all rolled in one. The PST therapy was clearly the catalyst that helped that last toe finally heal.

Harriet, a cat diagnosed with Radial Nerve Damage and Spinal Misalignment
"When I found my mom, my right front leg was badly injured. Our family vet said that I had radial nerve damage. This means my muscled don't work like they're supposed to. In order to walk, I would drag it around and almost use my shoulder for support. Everyone who saw me felt really badly for me. My mom knew my back must be sore from walking so weird!

We found Dr. Sivula. He said I had arthritis, and my spine was misaligned from walking left to right instead of forward. After only one appointment, I started to walk differently! After a few treatments, I didn't hobble anymore at all! I just go straight! I can run with my friends, and people have commented on how I am walking differently. I feel much better!

The staff at Dancing Paws loves animals, and they really care about helping pets get better. I know they why they call it Dancing Paws - because my bad leg is almost ready to take tap-dancing lessons thanks to Dr. Sivula!

Spirit, a 14 year old Golden Retriever.
"The effectiveness of the Pulsed-signal therapy was visible in Spirit, a 14-year-old golden retriever who previously suffered from severe arthritis in the hips and elbows.

After undergoing treatment with the PST machine, Spirit is living up to her name.

"It was absolutely amazing. When she stands, she stands on all four legs. She stays awake more & she's more interested in what goes on around her. She can go up and down the stairs much easier now. It has been absolutely dramatic. This is like a new dog," said Mimi Grosenbauth, Spirit's owner."

"Jessica, soon to be seventeen years old, was getting increasingly less mobile -- her back legs wobbled and she hesitated to jump up to favorite chairs. Sometimes it seemed those back legs just came along for the ride rather than being actively involved in her movements. We frequently had to help her up to her place on our bed at night. She stopped grooming herself for more than a few licks around her front feet. She did not like us to touch her legs or tail.

In August she had PST-Vet therapy through Dr. Janeen Smith of All Creatures Veterinary Hospital in Verona, Wisconsin. We were somewhat skeptical about having this done, but since her blood work and other signs were good, we decided to go ahead and hope that Jessica could at least be more comfortable in however much time she has left. We weren't sure how she would hold still for those half-hour treatments, but with the portable equipment brought to our house and the skill of the technicians, she accepted the restriction of movement with minimal protest.

We have tried not to read too much into her progress since then, but we see remarkable changes each week. She now walks faster and more steadily, claims her spot on her choice of chairs, easily jumps onto our bed. She is grooming farther down on her body with better balance. She is more interactive with us and purrs with pleasure when touched.

Our skepticism about PST-Vet has disappeared, and we are enjoying a happy, contented cat again."

“Three days before we started therapy, our 6 year old Rottweiler could not walk across the floor without my help. I am 70 years old and my husband is handicapped. Our poor dog was getting to be too much for me to lift up. “Lexi” has taken every medicine available for the past five years. She started vomiting (11 times that day). It was too much! I contacted our veterinarian, Dr. Kris Meyerer to put a precious, much loved pet to sleep. He suggested the PST-Vet (Pulsed Signal Therapy) as a last resort. We tried it. Six weeks later she is still running around like a puppy.

This has been truly a miracle. Thank you! Thank you! It is unbelievable that PST-Vet is non-invasive and requires no medicine and no surgery. Lexi loved the treatments and she did not want to leave the machine to come home.”

Hello Dr. Hemerson,
I thought I would drop you a note and let you know how Ivy is doing. After her last treatment on that Friday August 4th she did seem to be in some discomfort the day after (Saturday) so we gave her a 1/4 of a Rimadyl. She did fine the week after that but did seem to be hurting a bit that following Saturday August 11th and we gave her another 1/4 Rimadyl. She does seem to have mostly good days and we're very pleased with how she's doing. We allow her to walk at her own pace, and sometimes she's moving faster that we are. I've attached a little movie that I made of her walking the other day. I've been sending it around to friends and family spreading the word about the magic that you folks performed on her. She hasn't had any pain meds since, and she's still doing fine. There are times when she seems stiff and moves pretty slowly, but then again so do I.

Our dog Jazz is very active and typically runs 10-12 miles a week with me. In the last 3 years she began to lick her front paws and couldn't’t run as fast or long during our weekly outings. Our local vet diagnosed her as having arthritis in the two from paws, elbow joints and her right hip.

We began giving Rimadyl but were concerned about some reported instances of liver failure. We researched an ultimately had PST applied to her front paws and elbows by Dr. Sherman (Raleigh, NC).

Within 3 days she stopped licking those areas. She then began licking her back hip (which is next to get the same treatment). Also of note was a reduction in the width of her paws by about 15%. It was so pronounced that even our local vet who diagnosed her but did not subscribe to PST’s benefits (yet) commented on the reduction in size of her paws.

9/8/06 Update - "She's great. We're doing about 7 miles twice a week again."
