Expert Posts: 2013 Location: Piedmont, OK	Has anyone used shock wave therapy to help heal a bowed tendon? If so was it successful?

Veteran Posts: 206	Didn't use it for bowed tendon, but it was an awesome help in healing a torn suspensory faster. My gelding originally was to be off for up to 6 months, but he was back sound and running in less than 4. Well worth the expense in my book. Takes more than a couple treatments to be really effective. Good luck.

Expert Posts: 2013 Location: Piedmont, OK	Thank you for the responses! The bow is about 4 months old. I could not afford to do stem cell but have put her in a salt water spa several times to help tighten it back up. I thought this might be an option to help the healing.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 477	If you can I would look into using a Cytowave. I am using one right now and it's blowing me away. My futurity mare for next year got a bowed tendon in late July. I was willing to do anything to heal her and came across Cytowave which claims to heal bowed tendons in 3-5 weeks with treatments everyday. I have done treatments everyday since September 4th and her leg looks incredible and she is already moving sound. I was going to plan on having her ultra sounded after using it for a month but since she looks so good I'm going to do it next week. I am extremely impressed.

Texas Tenderheart Posts: 6715 Location: Red Raiderland	I have not used it for bowed tendon but I have been at our track vet's place when they are using it on different areas of the body and I talk to those clients and they have gotten great results. The reason i know it is being used while we are at the clinic is that it is sooo loud and gets your attention fast. We did do SCR on a gelding I have with a stifle injury but I think the injury was just not repairable no matter what modality tried. He is now a sweet pasture ornament here.

Elite Veteran Posts: 678 Location: Canada	I'd love to pay $135 a session. We pay almost $400 per treatment including sedation.

Elite Veteran Posts: 618	I think we paid like $375. It will vary also depending on # of waves as well? I don't know if I said that correctly. It was so worth it!
