Veterinary general practitioners looking for practical, real-world guidance on shockwave therapy will have the opportunity to learn directly from a peer during an upcoming live user forum titled Bringing Shockwave Into Everyday General Practice. The event is designed to help clinicians understand how shockwave can be implemented efficiently and confidently within a busy GP setting, without disrupting existing workflows.
The forum will focus on the realities of adopting shockwave therapy in daily practice, addressing both clinical and operational considerations. Attendees will gain insight into how shockwave can be implemented into practice, including the training required for veterinary teams and the simplicity of the PiezoWave setup, which operates using a standard 110V outlet. The session emphasizes that shockwave does not require complex installation or additional infrastructure, making it accessible for a wide range of practices.
A key component of the discussion will center on whole-team training. From front desk staff to technicians and assistants, team-wide education plays an important role in client communication, compliance, and overall treatment success. The forum will explore how staff understanding supports smoother implementation, clearer client conversations, and more consistent patient care.
The importance of anatomical knowledge will also be addressed. A strong understanding of anatomy is critical for delivering safe, effective shockwave treatments and achieving reliable outcomes. Attendees will learn how anatomy guides treatment decisions and supports best practices when incorporating shockwave into pain management and mobility care.
In addition, the forum will review common GP cases where shockwave can be implemented into daily practice. These real-world examples reflect the types of cases most general practitioners already see and demonstrate how shockwave can support pain management and mobility without requiring referral or specialized facilities.
The session will be led by Dr. Katie Ellis, a general practice veterinarian with a strong focus on pain management and mobility. Dr. Ellis earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Western University of Health Sciences after completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona. She actively incorporates shockwave into daily clinical practice and brings hands-on experience to the discussion. Her perspective offers attendees a practical, peer-driven look at what implementation truly looks like in a GP environment.
This live user forum is intended for veterinarians who are curious about shockwave therapy and want straightforward, applicable information rather than abstract theory. By focusing on ease of implementation, team involvement, and everyday clinical use, the event aims to provide attendees with clear takeaways they can apply directly to their practices.
Registration is open, and attendees are encouraged to add the event to their calendars in advance. The forum offers an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and gain confidence in how shockwave therapy can fit into general practice workflows. You can sign up here.
