PulseVet Shockwave Therapy
At Whole Health Mobile Pet Care, we are dedicated to providing our furry patients with the very best treatments grounded in the latest medical research and technologies. We are thrilled to introduce our new PulseVet Shockwave Therapy machine, designed to address animal muscle, soft tissue, and bone pains and injuries. Just like humans, animals can experience stress fractures, arthritis, muscle overuse, strains, spasms, and more. Our innovative therapy machine offers a non-invasive pain relief solution for a variety of these conditions. We have confidence in our PulseVet X-Trode Shockwave therapy machine, which boasts advanced technology developed over more than 15 years of clinical research. Not only does this new technology promise comfortable treatment, but it also eliminates the need for sedation typically required by other shockwave models.
What can be treated with shockwave therapy? Shockwave therapy for dogs can effectively relieve pain from several conditions, including tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries, osteoarthritis/degenerative joint disease, foot/heel pain, bone fractures (such as stress fractures), back and neck pain (like lumbosacral pain, arthritis), and even wound healing.
So, what exactly is PulseVet X-Trode Electrohydraulic Shockwave, and how does it work? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment utilized in both human and veterinary medicine, employing high-energy sound waves to alleviate pain, accelerate the healing process, and enhance the quality of recovery. This therapy penetrates deeper into the body than other treatments due to its higher energy levels and focused sound waves. The sound waves create a mechanical force at the cellular level, stimulating biological reactions such as the release of healing proteins and other essential substances. It's important to note that shockwave therapy does not involve an electrical shock.
Typically, shockwave therapy for dogs is a quick and easy procedure, lasting around 5-15 minutes, with noticeable results often evident within just 1 to 3 treatments. Since the therapy provides cumulative energy effects, the benefits generally accumulate over time, and your veterinarian will detail what to expect. The lasting results can extend from 6 to 12 months. Between treatments, your dog should rest, but strict confinement is not necessary. It's crucial to follow your veterinarian’s specific post-treatment directions based on your pet’s condition.
Is it painful? Fortunately, shockwave therapy is non-invasive and generally painless. In rare instances, however, sedation may be recommended to enhance your dog’s comfort. Shockwave therapy serves as a viable alternative to surgical options and long-term pharmaceutical treatments. It can also help reduce lameness and improve your dog’s mobility. If your dog is enduring bone or muscle pains, speak with one of our veterinarians at Harmony Animal Hospital today to explore your treatment options.
