Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), also known simply as Shockwave, is a non-invasive treatment we use daily here at VEI. This treatment uses high-energy sound waves in targeted areas of the equine body to stimulate healing and give temporary pain relief. This method can be used to treat injuries ranging from tendon and ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, neck, back, SI, and poll pain. Most sessions last about 15-20 minutes and will be continued every 2-4 weeks based on the treatment plan provided by your DVM.
