“I initially was interested in PulseVet shock wave technology because of the reported benefits in bone fracture healing and TPLO osteotomy healing. I had also checked with a friend, who is an orthopedic surgeon, and he is a fan of the therapy. I was able to compare TPLO healing time on 2 patients who had one knee repaired before I brought in PulseVet, and one knee repaired after using PulseVet therapy and both returned to function significantly sooner when using PulseVet. They also had shorter osteotomy healing time compared to the first leg. I have been using Laser therapy for several years and it does still have its place for superficial and acute cases, but when dealing with chronic pain/injuries/wounds and bone healing I find myself reaching for the PulseVet more frequently.
I have also used PulseVet on some stifle joint injuries that were not surgical candidates, for various reasons, and have seen significant improvement in those patients as well. My own English Bulldog has severe degenerative joint disease in both elbows and have used PulseVet on him and have seen improvement in his discomfort compared to any other alternative therapy.”
