How$often$to$use$the$Assisi$
Loop™:$$$
Regardless!of!what!is!being!treated,!we!
recommend!that!you!start$with!3!to!4!15<
minute!treatments!per!day!for!
acute!and!chronic!or!degenerative!conditions.!
•For!acute!conditions!(such!as!post<
surgical!treatment!or!recovery!from!a!
trauma),!we!recommend!that!you!
continue!3!to!4!treatments!per!day!for!
the!first!week!or!so!and!then!taper!off!
for!the!next!7!to!10!days!or!until!the!
condition!is!fully!healed.!
•For!chronic!or!degenerative!conditions,!
we!recommend!that!you!continue!with!
3!to!4!treatments!per!day!for!7!to!10!
days!and!monitor!the!animal!until!you!
see!improved!mobility!and!less!pain!
response.!!Again,!you!can!taper!down!
to!1!or!2!treatments!per!day!or!even!1<3!
treatments!per!week.!!With!some!
chronic!and!degenerative!conditions,!
the!patient!may!get!to!the!point!that!
they!would!only!be!treated!as!needed!
for!pain,!particularly!if!it!is!a!condition!
that!is!prone!to!flare<ups.!
!
!
!
!
!
Ultimately,!you!want!to!consider!that!the!
Assisi!Loop!is!catalyzing!the!anti<inflammatory!
cascade!as!well!as!accelerating!the!body’s!own!
healing!properties.!!We!rely!on!veterinarians!
to!assess!the!animal!and!to!work!with!the!pet!
owner!on!the!best!treatment!protocols!for!
each!case.!!For!example,!you!may!have!a!pet!
on!Rimadyl!or!other!anti<inflammatory!
medications!and!your!goal!would!be!to!work!
toward!discontinuing!these!drugs.!!In!this!
instance,!you!would!keep!the!Assisi!Loop!
treatments!at!3!or!4!times!per!day!until!you!
have!fully!discontinued!the!medications.!Then!
you!can!begin!to!reduce!the!number!of!
treatments!per!day!as!your!pet!continues!to!
show!good!mobility!and!low!to!no!pain!
response.!
How$soon$will$I$see$results?$
For!acute!inflammation,!you!should!see!
noticeable!relief!after!the!first!or!second!
treatment.!!With!chronic!or!degenerative!
issues,!you!may!not!see!notable!results!for!1!
to!2!weeks.!!You’ll!want!to!continue!the!
treatments!as!recommended!above!for!
continued!healing.!
