Presented by Britt Carr Benson, DVM, DACVSMR (canine), CCRT, DACVSMR (canine)
Dr. Britt Carr Benson explores how to use extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) alongside platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell regenerative therapies. During the presentation, Dr. Benson discusses different types of shock wave technologies and commercially available regenerative therapies.
Combining modality-based rehabilitation technologies and regenerative therapies is an emerging area of clinical study in animal health. She shares existing research supporting the use of ESWT and PRP, as well as ESWT and stem cell therapy.
Dr. Benson also explains why she commonly combines ESWT with regenerative therapies and shares the outcomes she is seeing in real-world clinical practice.
The presentation covers:
- Introduction to regenerative rehabilitation
- Review of the mechanism of action for extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy review
- Discussion of how ESWT affects PRP and stem cell therapy
- Clinical applications of ESWT and regenerative therapies
