Focused PiezoWave shockwave therapy delivers acoustic energy precisely into the target tissue, triggering the body’s repair response through mechanotransduction. In small animal practice, it is used for chronic osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, post-surgical recovery, IVDD, and bone healing applications. Quiet operation and adjustable settings allow use in a fear free manner without sedation.

Focused PiezoWave shockwave therapy entered small animal practice in the early 2000s. PiezoWave2T VET brings focused shockwave into general practice, integrative care, rehabilitation, and sports-medicine workflows with the focal F7G3 and linear FBL therapy sources, highly adjustable energy levels, and penetration-depth control measured in millimeters. It integrates with biologic joint injections, laser, PEMF, underwater treadmill, and multimodal rehabilitation plans. Engineered for the multimodal reality of companion-animal practice and the sensitivity of its patients.
