Our team is proud to deliver Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy powered by Zomedica - Versatron4Paws and Elvation - Piezowave2 Veterinary. Shockwave therapy source selection will be determined based on your pets condition and long term needs. By using high energy sound wave technology we can target painful areas at the cellular level to speed healing, reduce inflammation and swelling, and increase bone formation. Specifically, the acoustic waves release healing growth factors, stimulate blood flow and improve fiber alignment to also improve the quality of healing
Shockwave or sound wave therapy technology is used to treat chronic conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendon or Ligament injuries
- Hip Dysplasia
- Back pain
- Chronic wounds
- Shoulder lameness
- Fractures
By using piezoelectric technology to generate shockwaves, the transducer provides direct focused energy off reflectors, specifically off energy flux density and depth of penetration, biofeedback, less noise, and less stress for the patient. This technology is commonly used to treat osteoarthritis conditions, muscle and tendon injuries, and acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
