Michael H Jaffe, DVM, MS, CCRP, DACVS
Join Michael H Jaffe, DVM, MS, CCRP, DACVS, from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, for a comprehensive overview of the uses of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in small animal practice.
Dr. Jaffe shares the evidence-based mechanisms of action that enable ESWT to relieve pain, regenerate tissue, and support bone healing. The presentation includes a review of the different types of shock wave treatments and clinical applications for both focused and radial shock wave therapies.
Finally, Dr. Jaffe shares innovations in shock wave devices that are making shock wave therapy relevant in small animal veterinary practice. He will review how new technology is enabling his team to deliver comfortable shock wave treatments that don’t require patient sedation.
Key talking points include:
- The science supporting the use of ESWT in small animal veterinary practice
- A review of the mechanisms of action and biological cascade produced by ESWT
- When and where to use shock wave therapy in everyday practice
- How to use shock wave therapy
- The difference between focused and radial shock wave treatments
- Technology innovations that have made shock wave treatment comfortable and quiet
- How ESWT fits into a multimodal plan of care
- Real-world case study review
