Soooo, we tried the Assisi Loop on our 4 legger, Smokey B, who has severe arthritis in his elbow. We applied the loop as directed, 2-3- times a day, for a total of about 6 weeks. Suggested protocol is 2-3X/day for 4 weeks and then you can reduce usage, we extended protocol to 6 weeks at reco from Assisi loop rep who called to see how it was going at around 4 weeks in--she said that chronic pain can take longer to respond to treatment. Even after 6 weeks it had no effect on his limping whatsoever. That said, we have tried many things to alleviate his limp--stem cell therapy, laser therapy, every nsaid known to dawg, and acupuncture. Nothing has worked. The last orthopedist we went to suggested that perhaps Smokey's limp was more mechanical than a pain response but it is pretty difficult to suss out the difference.

Some dogs seem to respond well to the loop but as far as our pack the jury is still out!
