At South Shore Equine Clinic, we offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ECSWT) as a non-invasive treatment option to support healing and improve comfort in horses with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
ECSWT uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy increases blood flow to targeted areas, promotes tissue regeneration, and can help reduce pain. It is commonly used in the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries, suspensory desmitis, back pain, and certain bone-related conditions.
One of the key benefits of shock wave therapy is that it allows us to treat injuries without surgery or prolonged downtime. Treatments are typically quick, well-tolerated, and performed either in the clinic or in the field, depending on the needs of the horse.
ECSWT is often incorporated into a broader treatment and rehabilitation plan, working alongside diagnostics and other therapies to support optimal recovery and long-term soundness.
At South Shore Equine Clinic, we focus on practical, effective treatment options that help horses return to work safely and comfortably. If you have questions about whether shock wave therapy may be appropriate for your horse, our team is happy to help guide you.
