Advancing Sports Medicine. See You at ACVSMR.
Since its introduction into veterinary medicine, shockwave therapy (ESWT) has advanced significantly. Improvements in wave generation technology and a deeper understanding of biological mechanisms of action have refined treatment protocols and expanded clinical applications.
ELvation is proud to support key opinion leaders who will be presenting at the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Symposium. Our KOL speakers are actively advancing the fields of sports medicine and rehabilitation through research, clinical innovation, and real-world case integration. Be sure to check out their courses:
