Cat Spinal Fracture and Mobility Recovery

A male cat could not walk on its hindlimbs because its spine was fractured between thoracic vertebrae T9-T10, and the spinal cord was affected. The cat suffered surgery in November 2018 and the medullary canal was reconstructed.

Three months later (February 2019) the cat presented still muscular atrophy, paraplegia and low sensitivity in the hindlimbs. Dr. Slate started Bioptron Light therapy as an adjuvant medication for 18 min with the red filter. After 10 sessions the cat had a great mobility in the posterior limbs and sometimes it was even able to maintain the normal position.

In this case, Bioptron was very beneficial in improving musculoskeletal problems.
