Case study: Treating infraspinatus and supraspinatus trigger points and supraspinatus tendinopathy utilizing
1Animal Acupuncture and Canine Sports Medicine Facility, LLC, Tulsa, OK, United States.
Abstract:
Two individual case studies demonstrate piezoelectric shockwave treatment for the resolution of a supraspinatus tendinopathy and supraspinatus and infraspinatus myofascial trigger points (MTPs) via musculoskeletal ultrasound. This is the first documentation of improvement of both tendon and muscle fiber patterns in canine patients treated with piezoelectric shockwave. These cases validate the use of piezoelectric shockwave during the rehabilitation of common canine shoulder injuries.
