Acoustic Compression Therapy, or Shockwave, utilizes high intensity short bursts of focused sound waves to transfer energy to target tissues effortlessly and without sensation, stimulating healing and recovery. It has been shown to be helpful for many conditions including:
- Chronic and acute tendon and ligament injuries
- Post-TPLO healing
- Muscle pain and trigger points
- Osteoarthritis management
- Intervertebral disc disease treatment
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving healing of fractures and wounds
Acoustic Compression Therapy is an important component of a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program. It is a comfortable procedure for any patient. The fur over the treatment area is smoothed down with ultrasound gel allowing the treatment probe to directly contact the skin. The machine makes a soft clicking noise that most patients find relaxing. The energy generated is highly focused and can be tailored for the patient’s comfort and the treatment goals.
