PIEZOWAVE² VET SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

A focused sound approach to treating musculoskeletal injury

GET STARTED

As science and technology evolve, ELvation USA is committed to help all practitioners to get the best results for their patients by sharing what we're learning from our community of users.

________________________ 

Since its introduction into the veterinary world, shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has evolved.

Both the ability of piezoelectric technology to generate shockwaves and the more complete understanding of the biological mechanisms of action provide clinicians that utilize the PiezoWave² Vet the opportunity to avoid sedation, eliminate loud treatment noise, and minimize the cost of equipment maintenance.
