Shockwave therapy is a non - invasive treatment method increasingly used in the management of lameness in horses. This therapy involves targeting acoustic shockwaves to the affected area of the horse's body. These shockwaves stimu late tissue healing and can reduce inflammation. Shockwave therapy can be used for various causes of lameness, such as tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis, and back problems. The treatment is typically low in discomfort . A series of sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. In some cases, shockwave therapy can be used alone or in combination with other treatment modalities to accelerate healing and restore the horse's mobility.
