ELvation USA Vet will be exhibiting at the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (ACVSMR) Symposium this year.

Stop by our booth to connect with the team, explore the PiezoWave^2T Vet system, and learn how focused piezoelectric shockwave technology is being integrated into modern rehabilitation and performance medicine protocols. 

Trans-neuronal degeneration (TND) plays a significant role in neurologic dysfunction, yet it is often misunderstood. In this focused user forum, Pedro Luis Rivera, DVM, FACFN, DACVSMR, FCoAC, explains the fundamentals of neuronal and trans-neuronal degeneration and why understanding these mechanisms matters when managing compromised patients.

Attendees will learn how TND develops, how it affects clinical decision-making, and which key parameters to consider when treating neurologically challenged cases. Dr. Rivera will help clinicians recognize when intervention remains beneficial and when progression may signal limits to recovery.

Discover how to deliver effective, non-invasive musculoskeletal care with this RACE-approved CE wet lab focused on PiezoWave^2T Vet. In this hands-on session, you’ll treat real patients under expert guidance, learn protocols for arthritis, cruciate issues, back pain, and more, and receive individualized coaching to refine your technique. The lab also includes a focused segment on palpation and fascial mapping to help you identify areas of restriction or trigger points and apply shockwave with greater precision. Whether you’re new to shockwave or already using it in practice, you’ll leave with practical skills you can put to work immediately.
