ESWT Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has emerged as a revolutionary treatment option for horses, offering a non-invasive and effective treatment in the rehabilitation of various musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy is targeted shock waves generated by high-energy sound waves applied to specific parts of a horse's body. These shock waves are generated by a device and are precisely aimed at the targeted area, which locally stimulates the cells to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
ESWT is particularly effective in the treatment of various orthopedic conditions affecting tendons, muscles and wounds. It can also be used for injuries of the neck, back and SI. Shockwave therapy stimulates and accelerates healing and also contributes to pain relief and improvement of mobility.
What are the benefits of Shockwave Therapy?
Non-invasive: ESWT is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment method that eliminates the risk of incisions or invasive procedures.
Accelerated recoveryBy stimulating the body's self-healing capacity, ESWT accelerates the recovery process for various injuries and conditions.
Pain management: ESWT helps relieve pain by targeting pain receptors and interrupting pain signals. This is particularly beneficial for horses suffering from chronic pain conditions or recovering from injuries.
Improved tissue regeneration: the shock waves promote the production of collagen, a crucial component in tissue repair and regeneration. This results in stronger and healthier tissue, which reduces the risk of recurring injuries.
Minimizing scar tissue: ESWT can help minimize excess scar tissue that can hinder proper movement and function.
Versatile application: ESWT can be used for a wide range of conditions in horses, including tendon and ligament injuries, joint inflammation, back pain, and more.
Minimal side effects: In general, ESWT is well tolerated by horses and has minimal side effects.
