About

PulseVet® Shock Wave Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment backed by over 15 years of research, designed to harness the power of high-energy sound waves to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. This non-invasive therapy delivers sound wave energy through soft tissue to targeted areas, promoting faster and more effective healing without the need for sedation.

Proven to relieve pain, reduce lameness, and enhance mobility in dogs and cats, PulseVet therapy offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery. With just three treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart, pets experience significant improvements in their condition. Shock wave therapy is particularly effective in accelerating cellular bone production at injury sites, ensuring faster and more complete bone healing. PulseVet is the trusted choice for veterinarians seeking to provide optimal care and long-term wellness for their patients.

How it works

PulseVet® Shock Wave Therapy utilises high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, providing a powerful and non-invasive treatment option for various conditions in pets. These sound waves penetrate deep into soft tissues, targeting specific areas to release energy that activates cellular responses. This process increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the production of healing growth factors within the body.

The therapy is particularly effective at accelerating bone production at injury sites, leading to faster and more complete healing of fractures and other bone-related injuries. Unlike laser therapy, which uses light energy and is more suited for superficial conditions, shock wave therapy offers a deeper and more potent impact, requiring fewer treatments with long-lasting results. Typically, pets undergo three treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart, with no need for sedation, making the process safe, stress-free, and highly effective in relieving pain, reducing lameness, and improving overall mobility.

High-Energy Sound Waves

Delivers sound waves deep into soft tissues, targeting specific areas for healing.

Stimulates Natural Healing

Activates cellular responses that increase blood flow and reduce inflammation.

Accelerates Bone Production

Enhances bone formation at injury sites, speeding up recovery.

Few Treatments Needed

Typically requires only three sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart for long-lasting results.

Non-Invasive & Safe:

No sedation is needed, making the therapy stress-free and safe for pets.

Applications

This therapy is versatile and effective for treating a variety of conditions:

Osteoarthritis

Reduces pain, improves joint function, and slows the progression of degenerative diseases.

Tendon/Ligament Injuries

Accelerates healing, strengthens tissue, and improves the quality of tissue repair.

Wounds

Enhances wound healing by increasing circulation, promoting tissue repair, and reducing the risk of chronic infections.

Bone Fractures

Stimulates bone formation, accelerates recovery, and improves outcomes when used with surgeries like TPLO.

Sprains & Strains

Speeds up healing, reduces inflammation, and decreases pain and lameness.

Shockwave Vs Laser

Energy Type: Shock wave therapy uses SOUND energy, whereas laser therapy uses LIGHT energy.
Penetration Depth: Shock wave therapy provides a higher-energy output and penetrates deeper into tissues compared to laser therapy, which is more effective for superficial conditions.
Treatment Frequency: Shock wave therapy typically requires 1-3 treatments for long-term healing, with results lasting up to 12 months. In contrast, laser therapy may require 10-15 treatments for similar injuries, and its long-term healing effectiveness has not been well-established.
Safety: Shock wave therapy poses no risk of burns, unlike laser therapy which can potentially cause burns.
