Services and Fees
Each shockwave treatment is tailored to the individual horse’s need. Dr. Johnson consults
with your regular veterinarian after he/she has performed a thorough physical exam and
soundness evaluation. This examination may be supplemented with additional diagnostic
procedures such as x-rays, ultrasound, bone scan, and MRI. It is vitally important that an
accurate diagnosis is made before any therapy is begun. After a diagnosis is made, a
therapeutic plan is formulated. The number of shockwaves and the energy level of those
shockwaves that is most appropriate for the specific injury of the horse is decided upon. In
addition, a treatment schedule is mapped out. Generally, most horses will receive the most
benefit from a series of three treatments spaced at two to three week intervals.
The cost of treatment is based on the number of shockwaves administered. Treatments
generally range from 1000 to 1500 shockwaves. Each shockwave is 35 cents, up to 1500
shockwaves. Any shockwaves administered on the same horse over 1500 will be charged at
20 cents per shock. The average treatment ranges in price from $350.00 to $525.00, with the
occasional treatment costing more. The charges for sedation and trip charges are in addition
to that.
