Abstract
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has multiple applications in veterinary musculoskeletal pathologies. Primary indications include tendinopathies, malunion fractures, patellar desmitis, and osteoarthritis. There are multiple types of shockwave generators. Current evidence in the canine literature is primarily on electrohydraulic and radial pressure wave generators. Treatment protocols from one machine are not equivalent to other machines, and data should not be extrapolated between studies.
