We are pleased to announce that we now offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in our clinic! Shock wave therapy uses high-energy sound waves that penetrate through soft tissue at customized depths to reduce lameness, increase mobility and relieve pain in animals.
Shock wave has been clinically-proven to treat such conditions as osteoarthritis, tendon/ligament injuries, bone fractures, back pain, and wounds. We use the ProPulse focused shock wave technology, considered the gold standard in this treatment. With 1-3 treatments, shock wave stimulates healing to return horses to sound condition.
Plus, shock wave is covered by many insurance companies – up to 3 treatments!
We will be sharing more information about this noninvasive treatment in the near future, but feel free to ask us if this option is right for your horse.
