Lesson 7 - Proprioception

We have been using the LLL for two years.  Recently, one of my long-time patients, Paco (12 year old yellow lab) came for a consult on osteoarthritis.  Paco has been on glucosamine and Rimadyl for several years.  He has severe bilateral hip dysplasia.  Ms. Cole had read the paper that we had written about LLL therapy and wanted to start Paco on the treatment.  He received one session and the owner raved about the fact that he actually climbed stairs to go to bed.  Paco had not been upstairs for some time.  He is currently on a weekly schedule and is a lot more comfortable than when he was on drug therapy alone.
