Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave is a noninvasive, high-energy sound wave treatment commonly used in human and veterinary medicine. It helps the body in relieving pain, speeding healing, and improving the quality of healing.

PulseVet’s Shock Wave systems have been proven effective for treating such conditions as:

• Tendon and ligament injuries (shoulders, achilles, partial ccl tears)

• Bone Fractures (delayed or non-unions, post-tplo)

• OA/Joint inflammation and pain

• Cauda Equina Syndrome (LS Disease)

• Wounds/Lick Granulomas

Shock wave treatment can help speed healing of soft tissue injuries, manage chronic pain for 6-12 months, and can improve mobility and performance. Only PulseVet’s Shock Wave technology is backed by more than a decade of clinical research proving its efficacy and is covered by pet insurance.

Only 1-3 treatments needed for optimal results. Sessions are spaced 2-3 weeks apart and take less than 10 minutes to complete.

K Laser (Class IV Laser)

Photobiomodulation dramatically speeds up wounds repair (post surgical wound, traumatic wounds, bite wounds, otitis, or other) and reduce healing time as well as enhancing tissue health and function. Class IV laser treatment is also found to be an effective modality in reducing musculoskeletal pain (muscle spasms, arthritis pain, etc) without any effects on the kidneys or gastrointestinal system. 

Photobiomodulation effects are accumulative, with each treatment building on the previous one.

A prior consultation is required
