Shockwave TherapyVeterinary Services
At Park City Animal Clinic, we offer Pet Shockwave Therapy in Park City, Utah, to help pets heal from chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, and joint conditions. This non-invasive treatment can improve mobility, support faster recovery, and may reduce the need for more invasive procedures.
What Is Pet Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy—formally known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)—uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in deep tissues. These waves penetrate the skin and soft tissue, promoting increased blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging natural cell repair. It’s commonly used in both human and veterinary medicine to support musculoskeletal health.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is often recommended for pets dealing with:
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Hip dysplasia
- Chronic pain or lameness
- Slow-healing wounds or post-surgical recovery
- Elbow and shoulder injuries
- Back and spinal discomfort
In many cases, this treatment can serve as an alternative or complement to surgery, especially for pets who are not ideal surgical candidates due to age or underlying conditions.
How the Treatment Works
Shockwave therapy is typically performed on an outpatient basis. During the procedure:
- The area is clipped and cleaned for better contact.
- Light sedation may be used to ensure your pet remains calm and still.
- A handheld probe delivers focused sound waves directly to the affected area.
Each session takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Most pets require a series of treatments, spaced out over several weeks, depending on the condition and response to therapy.
