Please note that we recommend that for any and all treatment processes, a veterinary opinion be obtained. Correct identification of problems with complimentary scans and/or x-rays should be obtained for any serious injuries involving bone or tendons. A qualified veterinary would then advise on the correct treatment process to proceed with. We advocate that the sound shockwave treatment and acupressure be a complimentary treatment process in line with the recommended veterinary procedure.
