Elbow dysplasia (ED)
Hip dysplasia (HD)
Arthrosis of the joints
Elbow dysplasia (ED)
Like hip dysplasia (HD), elbow dysplasia (ED) is hereditary. Depending on the severity of the condition, symptoms of ED can range from lameness to elbow osteoarthritis. ED is a malformation of the elbow joint, which is made up of the humerus, ulna and radius. In cases of elbow dysplasia, the articular surfaces of these three bones do not fit together properly. Diagnosis is made using X-rays and, in rare cases, computed tomography.
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
With the NOVAFON, the entire foreleg area can be treated supportively in order to compensate for muscular imbalances and to relieve pain. 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. Treat all affected areas.

Hip dysplasia (HD)
Hip dysplasia (HD) develops while the dogs are still growing, meaning that it is a postnatal developmental disorder of the socket and femoral head which leads to degenerative changes. Hip dysplasiaoccurs in almost all dog breeds. If the hip socket is too flat or the femoral head is too small or too flat, the end of the joint suffers from wear and tear, which leads to loosening of the joint. This prevents the correct development of connective tissue. There is too much play between the head and the socket, and therefore too much freedom of movement. The result is instability in the hip. As a result, the joint capsule and articular cartilage suffer from considerable wear and tear, which then leads to arthrosis. Usually both hips are affected.

Arthrosis of the joints
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases in dogs and is thus a widespread condition. Osteoarthritis has very specific causes: it is a degenerative disease of the joints and describes the permanent breakdown of the articular cartilage beyond the usual age-related wear and tear. The breakdown of the cartilage is followed by destruction of the joint surfaces, which causes alterations in the adjacent bones and deformation of the joints. Normal movement becomes almost impossible. Osteoarthritis can manifest itself in all the dog’s joints

Step 1 — Strengthening of the foreleg muscles
In the first step, set the device to vibration level 1 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 dog 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 stress points
MUse 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 are as. 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.

Step 1 — Relaxing of the muscles around the affected joint
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 dog 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 the area around the joint
Treat the area around the joint using the ball attachment. To treat this area, connect the ball attachment, select Level 1 and the lowest intensity setting. Treat each area in small circular movements for about 1 minute. Then treat the next 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
