Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLSS)
Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis can have different causes. If DLSS is triggered by tumours, treatment with the NOVAFON is not suitable. Be aware of the contraindications. DLSS occurs at the transition of the last lumbar vertebra to the sacrum. The transition area is connected by ligaments that can degenerate and become loose. This instability causes the intervertebral disc to press on individual nerves, which can lead to compression syndrome. The symptoms usually appear slowly. If the nerves are very severely compressed, this can cause the animal to drag its hind legs or even to lose control of them completely. If your pet experiences these symptoms, consult a veterinarian immediately.
Behandlung mit dem NOVAFON
Neben dem Gelenk selbst spielen vor allem die zugehörige Muskulatur und die Triggerpunkte eine Rolle. Mit dem NOVAFON kann aber die gesamte Kaumuskulatur unterstützend behandelt werden, um die muskuläre Dysbalance auszugleichen und die Bewegungseinschränkungen zu reduzieren.
Treatment with NOVAFON
Vibration therapy aims to combat pain, build up atrophied muscles, relieve muscle tension and restore movement. Treatment with the NOVAFON should last a total of 10 – 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. The intensity setting should be individually adapted, as each animal perceives the vibration very differently. Always treat both sides.

Spondylosis/Spondylarthrosis
Spondylosis is the generic term for a number of degenerative dis-eases of the spine. Spondylarthrosis, on the other hand, is a more precise definition, and describes signs of wear and tear on the articular cartilage. With age, the cartilage increasingly wears out, which reduces the distance between the vertebrae. As a result, back mobility decreases and cats increasingly suffer from pain. In the course of this degenerative disease, bony thorns can develop along the edges of the vertebrae. If these thorns meet, they form bony connections between the vertebrae. This changes the shape of the spine and causes stiffening. The whole process is accompanied by pain and severe muscle tension.

The aim of vibration therapy is to correct the muscular changes caused by incorrect or excessive strain and to restore movement sequences to normal. Treatment with the NOVAFON should last a total of 10 to 15 minutes and can be repeated daily. The intensity setting should be individually adapted, as each animal perceives the vibration very differently. Always treat both sides.

Step 1 — Relaxing tense muscle groups to the right and left of the spine and in the hindquarters
In the first step, set the device to vibration level 2 and use the disc attachment on the marked area. You can work in either a stroking or continuous circular motion. The direction of treatment plays a subordinate role – pay more attention to whether the cat is relaxed and is allowing its muscles to relax. Depending on the condition of the coat, it is recommended that you work in the direction of the coat growth. Treat each side of the face for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2 — Treatment of sore areas
Use the ball attachment to work directly on the trigger points. It is best to feel for the trigger points with your fingertips at the marked areas. To treat these areas, connect the ball attachment, select level 1, and adjust the intensity accordingly. Treat the trigger points for about 1 to 2 minutes each, either by applying light pressure without moving or in small circular movements. After this, treat the next sore area.

The direction of treatment plays a subordinate role – pay more attention to whether the cat is relaxed and is allowing its muscles to re-lax. Depending on the condition of the coat, it is recommended that you work in the direction of the coat growth. Treat each side of the face for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2 — Treatment of stress points
Use the ball attachment to work directly on the trigger points. It is best to feel for the trigger points with your fingertips at the marked areas. To treat these areas, connect the ball attachment, select level 2, and adjust the intensity accordingly. Treat the trigger points for about 1 to 2 minutes each, either by applying light pressure without moving or in small circular movements. After this, treat the next sore area.
In der Anwendung einfach und angenehm. Ich habe bisher die besonders beanspruchte Kiefermuskulatur behandelt (Zähne-Knirsch-Problematik). Sehr angenehm und entspannend! (...) Ich nutze es regelmäßig und gern! 1, 2 Anwenderin S., 15.02.2017, NOVAFON power
