Veterinarians are increasingly turning to shockwave therapy for canine rehab due to its non-invasive nature, proven efficacy, and reduced reliance on pharmaceuticals. Clinical research supports its ability to enhance tissue healing, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal injuries, making it a valuable addition to traditional therapies.
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that enhances surgical recovery by promoting tissue regeneration, reducing pain, improving vascularization, minimizing scarring, and supporting faster functional restoration, with long-term benefits for tissue quality and sustained patient outcomes.
Shockwave therapy for degenerative disc disease offers a safe, non-invasive option that can reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life for appropriately selected patients. Evidence suggests it is most effective for those with mechanical low back pain and minimal neurological involvement, especially when integrated with rehabilitation and lifestyle changes. While not a universal solution, it represents a valuable conservative treatment alternative to medications or surgery.
