Mountaintop Canine

What is Microcurrent therapy?

Brief explanation of the instruments and MICROCURRENT technology:

At Mountaintop Canine, we use a unique, non-invasive therapy system called the Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse. The best way to think of this treatment is as a way to jump-start your dog or pet's natural healing process.

The technology uses a very low-level electrical current, called microcurrent. This is not like a TENS unit or other electrical stimulators you might be familiar with. Instead, it's a gentle, pain-free current that is so similar to the energy your dog's own body produces that the cells immediately recognize and respond to it.

This therapy system is like having two specialized tools that work together for a more complete recovery:

The Electro-Acuscope focuses on the nervous system. It helps to calm nerves that are causing pain and reactivate those that are not working properly. This is key for dogs with chronic pain or neurological issues.
The Electro-Myopulse works on soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It helps to reduce swelling, relieve muscle spasms, and increase the energy (ATP) needed for cells to repair themselves. This speeds up healing from injuries and surgeries.

It's a proven method, with a history of use in both human and animal medicine for decades, and it's particularly effective for:

Post-Surgical Recovery: Getting your dog back on their feet faster after an operation.
Chronic Conditions: Managing pain and improving mobility for conditions like arthritis.
Injuries: Healing strains, sprains, and other soft tissue damage.

By combining this advanced technology with my hands-on experience in veterinary surgery, I offer a high-standard of care tailored to help your dog live a happier, more comfortable, and pain-free life.

You can also navigate to the FDA website for more information on how each piece of equipment and technology is individually designed, tested, and approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at themountaintopcanine@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How do I know if my pet will benefit from this?

Your companion stands to significantly benefit from our calibrated microcurrent therapy, which complements the body's natural healing processes. This treatment is an excellent choice for:

Preventative maintenance and performance enhancement, helping your dog stay active and agile.
Accelerated post-operative recovery, ensuring a smoother, faster return to health after surgery.
Managing chronic conditions, offering support and potentially slowing the progression of long-term issues.

This therapy is completely non-invasive. My extensive veterinary background, combined with specialized orthopedic and anatomical knowledge, and over 100 hours of ATS canine therapist certification, ensures precise and effective treatment.

Our instruments are specially calibrated for small animal tissue, making treatments accurate and comfortable. At Mountaintop Canine, your beloved pet will receive the incredible, case-studied benefits of microcurrent therapy and have been known to relax and even fall asleep during their sessions. We believe every dog deserves access to this advanced maintenance therapy, even puppies predisposed to genetic conditions, as it can help slow disease progression.

Will I be able to book just once to try it out?

No, we do not offer single sessions and there are no exceptions to this due to cellular physiology and the cumulative effect (how training cells to hold their appropriate charge works). Another reason behind this standard is that it is against manufacturer recommendations. We follow all state guidelines, FDA requirements, and manufacturer recommendations. This way you are sure to receive the highest quality of care, and the most optimal results for your furry friend. (*3 sessions within a 72 hour period is required to start all new patients).

Will you work with my vet?

Yes, we work through veterinary authorization. This means that I require referral and approval from your primary veterinarian. Veterinary referral forms can be sent to your DVM directly, or you can ask your vet if they would like forms to be kept at their office for easy reference. Referral forms are located on the "Vet Referral Form" tab.

Note: A referral fee will be given to your rDVM for 25% of the cost of the first session.

What are some things I should know before inquiring about a service?

Every treatment program is tailored to your pet's wellness and your specific goals. A consultation (via phone or email) is required before booking your first session. During this consultation, we'll gather essential information to design a projected course of therapy, which will be adjusted in subsequent sessions.

For most treatments, we require a complete medical history and a referral form from your primary veterinarian. This is not required for preventative maintenance or performance optimization.

Please bring a fresh leash to your first appointment, which will be used for all future treatments.

Important: We cannot treat pets that are pregnant or have a pacemaker. Please contact us for more information. Existing clients should refer to our supplemental forms for detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions, as well as the intake form (located in the client section).
