Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in equine musculoskeletal tissues. This non-invasive procedure delivers focused pulses to injured areas, promoting tissue regeneration and reducing pain. A typical application involves treating tendon and ligament injuries in performance horses.
ESWT offers a valuable alternative to traditional treatments like surgery or medication, often providing faster recovery times and improved outcomes. It addresses inflammation, promotes blood flow, and stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, benefiting horses with a variety of conditions. The technology has evolved significantly since its introduction to veterinary medicine, becoming increasingly refined and accessible.
