Healing with PulseVet Shockwave Technology

What is Shockwave Therapy?

High-energy sound wave technology offering a noninvasive treatment option for pets experiencing lameness, pain, or post orthopedic surgery. It is not an electric shock!  The high-energy sound waves – sometimes called pulses, travel through soft tissue at customized depths, reaching specific treatment areas triggering the body’s repair system to activate.  

Shockwaves result in higher energy outputs and deeper penetration than ultrasound or lasers. This kind of therapy has been proven effective with reducing healing time, improving mobility, and relieving pain. It can be used as part of a rehabilitation/routine postoperative program or in place of increased NSAID doses or other pain medications.

  • Proved to treat 20+ indications 

  • Only 1-3 treatments required for healing 

  • Each treatment takes less than 5 minutes 

  • Provides long terms results 

“Why do I use shockwave? Because it works – every single time. It’s not a guess if it’s going to work or not. Why do I use PulseVet? Because it’s the best one. Electrohydraulic shockwave is way better than piezoelectric, and don’t be fooled by crazy alternatives.” – Dr. Pam Nichols

How Does PulseVet Shockwave Work?

PulseVet shock wave therapy aids in healing by stimulating the body’s regeneration process. The waves work on a cellular level, releasing proteins that accelerate healing.  

Unlike other types of shock waves that are designed for lithotripsy (where shock waves disintegrate kidney stones), PulseVet devices utilize an electrohydraulic source to create the most effective shock waves for orthopedic and sports medicine indications.  You can view all of PulseVet’s clinical research here >>

  • Osteoarthritis 

  • Joint injuries – hips, elbows, stifle (knee), and shoulder 

  • Chronic back pain, lumbosacral disease 

  • Non-union or delayed union fractures 

  • Tendon/ligament injuries 

  • Chronic soft tissue wounds 

  • Post orthopedic surgery 

  • Lick Granulomas

Shockwave therapy is FDA-approved. There is over 10 years of shockwave research in both veterinary and human medicine –and no adverse effects have been reported. 

What to Expect with PulseVet Shockwave Therapy:

Preparation of the treatment area is minimal. A technician will clip any hair overlying the treatment area. This ensures uninterrupted sound transmission. Conductive gel is applied and the applicator head gently moves over the affected area. Gel is removed immediately after treatment so no mess goes home. Depending on the case, additional treatments may be needed after 2-3 weeks.
