Massachusetts Equine Clinic
How it Works
The therapy device delivers high-intensity pressure waves directly to injured tissues. These waves promote the body’s healing response and improve blood flow to the affected area, supporting faster and more effective recovery.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for: Suspensory ligament injuries, Navicular disease, Bowed tendons, Stress fractures, Sesamoid injuries, Kissing spine lesions
Treatment Protocol
Most horses require 1–3 treatment sessions, typically spaced 7–21 days apart. During treatment, the area may be clipped, and the horse is sedated for comfort. Hospitalization is not required, and horses generally return home the same day once the sedation wears off. Recovery timelines vary depending on the type and severity of the injury and your horse’s intended workload. Our veterinarians will develop a personalized plan to safely guide your horse back to regular activity.
