Described as both safe and effective, ESWT involves applying shock waves to an injured area of the body. Shock waves are intense but short energy pulses that travel so quickly—a whopping 1,500 meters/ second—they literally break the sound barrier. This is the same event that occurs when airplanes break the speed of sound, except in a much smaller format. The “extracorporeal” part of the name simply refers to the fact that the shock waves are generated outside the body. A probe attached to a generator unit applies the shock waves directly to the injured region of the horse. Shock wave machines often have several probes capable of delivering shock waves to different tissue depths. This allows veterinarians to treat superficial injuries, such as wounds or lower limb tendons that are close to the skin’s surface, as well as deeper injuries, such as to muscles or back joints. Veterinarians can adjust various settings on the shock wave unit to tailor the therapy to a horse’s individual needs. The three main settings vets must consider include: Energy and focal area, which are frequently expressed in terms of energy per area (or energy flux density, EFD) and measured in millijoules (mJ) per mm. Shock wave generators can vary significantly in the amount of energy they produce and the size of area in which that energy is deposited. Impulses are the number of shock waves delivered per session. Depending on the underlying pathology, the impulses delivered can vary from 500 to several thousand. Focus depth, as alluded to previously, indicates how deep the shock waves penetrate the horse’s body. Standard depths range from 0 mm to approximately 110 mm. While practitioners have devised various treatment protocols— delineating not only energy, number of impulses, and focus but also number of treatments and days between treatments—these provide only general guidelines. Due to the lack of science-based evidence supporting exact protocols, vets typically must modify ESWT schedules to fit each patient’s individual needs and therapy response A shock wave is an acoustic (pressure) wave with very high amplitude and rapid rise time. There are multiple ways to generate a shock wave. The pressure wave can be instituted by vaporization of fluid across a spark gap (electrohydraulic), expansion of piezoelectric crystals (piezoelectric), or pushing a membrane with opposite electrical current (electromagnetic). In all three mechanisms, the pressure wave is brought to a focal point by lenses or a parabolic reflector. This mechanism allows the energy in the wave to aim at a specific point within the tissue. There are differences between extracorporeal shock waves (ESWs) and radial pressure waves (RPWs). Radial pressure waves are created by a pneumatically driven device to strike the surface. This creates a pressure wave, but the parameters of the wave are different, however they continue to be confused and incorrectly lumped together. The waveforms have different energy levels and different depths of penetration. It is important not to assume that the results of using one wave form will be similar to the other. The discussion here will focus on ESWs. The mechanisms by which ESWs provide a therapeutic outcome are minimally understood. A number of results of the treatment have been identified. Neovascularization following ESW therapy has been shown in tissues ranging from bone to myocardium. Up regulation of cytokines has been demonstrated in a number of tissues and more recently shown through gene expressions. These findings are great strides towards identifying the initiating mechanism which appears to be a cellular response to the physical shock wave stimulating the cell. How ESWT Benefits Horses Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is widely used; however, its exact mechanisms of action remain unknown. One theory is the shock waves impact cell-to-cell communication by altering the expression of various molecules, such as growth factors and cytokines, to promote healing.³ To test this theory, one research group created wounds in both forelimbs of horses. They treated one forelimb with ESWT and left the other untreated. The researchers measured the levels of various genes involved in wound-healing throughout the study. A published review article¹ explained that ESWT impacts not only growth factors that result in healing but also mediators that support blood vessel growth (angiogenic cytokines). It also increases the number of bone-producing cells (osteoblasts); recruits stem cells to facilitate healing of various tissue types; and appears to provide pain relief. Research to more definitively describe mechanisms of action to maximize a patient’s benefit from ESWT remains ongoing. Important Considerations When Applying ESWT Regardless of the horse’s injury, one of the most important predictors of outcome is an accurate diagnosis. Simply assuming a horse has a specific injury or condition and treating the area with ESWT will unlikely lead to the optimal desired result, such as return to peak performance. Ongoing follow-up examinations to adjust the horse’s rehabilitation schedule will also help improve his outcome. Preparing the affected site properly helps enhance the sound waves’ penetration of that area.When treating navicular disease, for example, veterinarians recommend trimming the frog and wrapping the foot in a wet bandage overnight. This softens the frog and ultimately improves the sound waves’ penetration through the superficial tissues to reach the deeper tissues where the navicular bone lies. Similarly, many horses receiving treatment for tendon, ligament, and muscle pain might reap maximal benefit from ESWT if the site is clipped and cleaned prior to applying the probe. In many cases, horses require sedation during ESWT. And, as with other physical therapy/ rehabilitation modalities, only trained professionals should apply ESWT.
