Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, or ESWT, is a non-invasive, high-intensity, pressure wave regenerative medicine treatment. It is used to relieve pain, speed healing, and improve the quality of healing. The shock waves act as a mechanical force at the cellular level which cause the release of proteins associated with decreased inflammation and increased blood vessel formation; it has also been demonstrated to recruit stem cells. It is effective for the following conditions: tendon and ligament injuries, chronic wounds, bone healing, Osteoarthritis, and Degenerative Joint Disease. Anticipated results can be seen with just 1-3 treatments. ESWT can be combined with other therapies and often increases the efficacy of those treatments, resulting in a reduced quantity or frequency of treatments needed. Please contact the office with any questions you may have about this innovative therapy or to schedule an appointment to ensure shock wave is the best treatment for your horse’s condition.
