Shock wave therapy in veterinary medicine

Shock wave therapy has long been an established cornerstone in human orthopaedics and rehabilitation. Today, STORZ MEDICAL is bridging the gap between human and animal healthcare by bringing this advanced technology into veterinary medicine. This non-invasive approach provides a powerful tool for veterinarians to support regeneration, improve mobility, and manage discomfort in animals. How Shock Wave Therapy Works in Veterinary Practice. In veterinary medicine, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is primarily used for orthopaedic and soft tissue conditions. By delivering targeted acoustic energy to the affected area, the therapy promotes local circulation and supports the physiological responses involved in tissue repair. Primary Indications for Animals:. Equine Athletes: Overload-related tendon and ligament issues, mobility limitations, and performance-related stiffness., Small Animals (Dogs/Cats): Joint-related degenerative changes, chronic musculoskeletal discomfort, and post-surgical rehabilitation., General Recovery: Rehabilitation following injury or as part of a multi-modal treatment concept for chronic conditions.
