Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive therapy that delivers focused, high-energy shockwaves to

relieve pain and speed healing. The delivered energy stimulates healing by increasing blood flow

and growth factor concentrations in the treated tissues.

Shockwave has been proven effective for treating conditions such as tendon and ligament injures,

stress fractures/splints, arthritis, heel pain, and sore backs/kissing spines.

Sessions take 5-15 min, may require sedation, and are usually done as a series of 3-5 treatments

spaced out at 1-2 week intervals. The PulseVet shockwave machine we use is considered the gold

standard in equine shockwave therapy.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has become a highly accepted technology for treating

musculoskeletal problems, soft-tissue injuries and bone injuries in horses.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a method of applying energy waves to hard or

soft tissue in a particular area of the body. ESWT is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes the

production of acoustic sound waves to produce high pressure waves that are focused at a point

of tissue or bone to stimulate healing.

When the shock waves meet interfaces of different impedance (i.e. bone/soft tissue interface)

changes within the tissue are stimulated and created. These include an increase in blood flow,

direct cellular effects, activation of osteogenic factors (the process of laying down new bone) and

a direct analgesic (pain relieving) effect.

Developed for human use in breaking up kidney stones, the technique has been adopted by

veterinarians to reduce pain and stimulate healing in some types of injuries. “Extracorporeal” refers

to the fact that the treatment is given from outside the horse’s body, in contrast to oral medications,

injections, or surgery that are considered more invasive.

HOW CAN SHOCKWAVE THERAPY HELP YOUR HORSE?
Studies have shown that it reduces inflammation, thereby reducing pain as it promotes

healing. It appears to be especially effective where ligaments attach to bone or where there

is an arthritis problem. ESWT has been used successfully to treat:

Bowed tendons
Suspensory ligament injuries
Stress fractures
Splint bone fractures
Bone spavin
Navicular syndrome
Vertebral spinal pain/kissing spine
Sacro-iliac conditions (Hunter Bumps)
Back pain
Bucked shins

ESWT has been proven effective in many research studies. In one study researchers reported that

79% of horses diagnosed with bone spavin (A form of Hock Arthritis) had an improved lameness score

following ESWT. In another study they reported successfully treating chronic suspensory disease in

80% of affected horses after only three ESWT sessions.
