As of July 31, 2008, Strain Equine Services, LLC is proud to offer our clients and our referring veterinarians:
Focused Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT).
Dr. Strain has used this specialized equipment in clinics across the country.
SES is the first equine clinic in Kansas City to offer this specialized equipment to our horses.
It is a non-invasive procedure with an average treatment time of 20-30 minutes.
Shockwave therapy is used for tendon and ligament injuries and to stimulate bone remodeling. Focused high frequency shockwave therapy consists of a single acoustic pulse of extremely short rise time and a very high pressure maximum, which expends enormous amounts of acoustic energy focused on a small area. The surrounding tissue is treated as gently as possible. Shockwave therapy increases new bone formation and cuts down on healing time.
The indications for use include, but are not limited to:
______________________________________________________________
Tendonopathies with or without calcification
Calcification of the nuchal ligaments
Splint bone fractures
Sesamoiditis
Sacroiliac disease
Sore Back
