Understanding PulseVet Shock Wave therapy
Backed by over 15 years of research, PulseVet Shock Wave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate and speed the body’s own healing process.
See how shock wave therapy stimulates tissue and bone formation
How does it work?
The PulseVet Shock Wave System produces high-energy sound waves, which stimulate cells and release healing growth factors in the body that reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, accelerate bone formation, and enhance wound healing.
Only the electrohydraulic technology used in the PulseVet System creates a true shock wave at all energy settings – a key differentiator in ensuring efficacy. This allows the therapy to reach deeper, targeting areas that other modalities cannot.

PulseVet Shock Wave technology is backed by decades of research and evidence-based data
Equine Research
Significant improvement in the quality of tendon repair1
89%
Effective decrease in lameness associated with navicular syndrome in 81% of horses3
Significant improvement in equine osteoarthritis cases compared to sham group4
Significantly shortened healing time for wounds5
3 treatments of ESWT 2 weeks apart is shown to treat horses with thoracolumbar pain6
Small Animal Research
Significant increase in weight bearing ability post-TPLO7
4.5%
(compared with a decrease of 2.6% in the untreated group)
Significantly improved bone healing 8 weeks after TPLO surgery9
(compared to untreated dogs)
