What is Cat and Dog Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive and pain free technique that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body’s healing processes and reduce pain in dogs and cats. The sound waves penetrate the soft tissues of the treatment area on your pet’s body and release energy to encourage healing. This treatment method can be used to manage a variety of conditions including:
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Back pain
- Fractures
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Chronic wounds
- Joint injuries
How Can Shockwave Therapy Benefit My Pet?
Shockwave therapy for pets offers numerous benefits to your beloved companion. Beyond healing and reducing pain, shockwave therapy provides the following advantages:
- Doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia which means less stress and quicker recovery time for your pet
- Few reported side effects, meaning it is safe for pets who are not good candidates for surgery or other invasive treatments
- Improves circulation and activates collagen production, accelerating healing and reducing pain, leading to a faster recovery and greater comfort for pets
While shockwave therapy has many benefits, it may not be suitable for every pet, which is why we recommend scheduling a consultation with our team at Prairie Animal Hospital. We can help determine if shockwave therapy would be beneficial for your pet’s specific needs.
