Equine Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that promotes tissue healing, improves circulation, and reduces pain in a wide range of musculoskeletal and lameness conditions.
At Core Equine Biomechanics, we provide equine shockwave therapy in Melbourne as part of our integrated veterinary approach to lameness diagnosis, rehabilitation, and performance optimisation.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?
This advanced therapy delivers focused acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes—helping resolve tendon and ligament injuries, back and pelvic pain, and chronic joint issues. When combined with veterinary chiropractic treatment, gait analysis, and ultrasound-guided diagnostics, shockwave therapy forms a key part of our evidence-based care model.
As a mobile horse vet in Melbourne, we bring this technology directly to your property, offering comprehensive, performance-focused treatment designed to restore soundness, comfort, and longevity in sport and pleasure horses alike.
When Is Shockwave Recommended?
Shockwave therapy is commonly used in horses with:
-
Tendon or ligament injuries
-
Arthritis and joint discomfort
-
Back pain or kissing spines
-
Chronic muscle soreness or poor performance
-
Slow-healing or recurrent lameness
Because every case is different, shockwave is often combined with chiropractic assessment, gait analysis, or imaging to ensure treatment is targeted and effective.
Most horses are treated every 2–3 weeks for a short course of 3-5 sessions. Some require only a few treatments, while others benefit from periodic maintenance to remain comfortable in training or competition. Sessions are quick, performed on-site, and generally well tolerated.
