What is PulseVet Shock Wave Therapy?
PulseVet is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured or inflamed tissues. It helps activate the body’s natural repair processes.
How does shock wave therapy work for pets?
The sound waves penetrate tissue at different depths, triggering increased blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell regeneration.
Is PulseVet safe for dogs and cats?
Yes. PulseVet is FDA-approved for veterinary use and has been used for many years in both animals and humans.
Does PulseVet hurt my pet?
Most pets tolerate treatment very well. The procedure is quick and generally does not require sedation.
How many treatments will my pet need?
Many pets benefit from 1 to 3 treatments, depending on the condition and severity.
How quickly will I see results?
Some pets show improvement quickly, while others improve gradually as healing continues over time.
Can PulseVet replace surgery?
In some cases, it may reduce the need for surgery. In others, it may be used alongside surgical procedures to improve healing.
Is PulseVet better than laser therapy?
PulseVet uses sound energy instead of light energy and can reach deeper tissues with higher energy. It often requires fewer treatment sessions compared to laser therapy.
What conditions benefit most from PulseVet?
Pets with arthritis, ligament injuries, fractures, and chronic wounds are among the most common candidates.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Your veterinarian may recommend temporary activity restrictions to support healing, depending on your pet’s condition.
