Stone Ridge Equine Care is now offering Shock Wave Therapy with our new PulseVet VersaTron machine! Shock wave therapy is a noninvasive, high energy, pressure wave treatment that is commonly used in both veterinary and human medicine. It helps the body in relieving pain, decreasing inflammation, and improving the quality of healing. This type of machine is able to penetrate to much deeper areas than most other types of modalities. “Shock wave” does not refer to an electrical shock, instead the machine uses high energy sound waves with a rapid increase in pressure to penetrate and help heal the area.
Our new Shock Wave machine can be used for numerous
conditions such as:
- Tendon & Ligament Injuries
- Muscle Strains
- Joint Injuries & Arthritis
- Navicular Syndrome/Foot Lameness
- Splints, Stress Fractures, & Buck Shins
- Back and Neck Pain
- Wound healing
The PulseVet Shock Wave machine has been proven effective
and is therefore covered by most insurance companies. The technology has been
documented in extensive human and animal research and validated in thousands of
clinical studies.
The average treatment is relatively fast and easy. The procedure is completely noninvasive, making the experience low stress for the horse. Typically, you can see results with 1-3 treatments. The machine is portable, and therefore can be done in the comfort of your barn. We are very excited to offer this new technology! The PulseVet will also be available for small animals through our sister business, Stone Ridge Animal Care!
