Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure that creates a series of pressurized air wave pulsations applied to the skin where the injury is located. Shockwave technology accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue.
Administered by one of our registered physical therapists, shockwave therapy is a non-surgical option that can provide results often in as little as 3-5 sessions. Conditions that respond well to Shockwave Therapy includes:
• Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Spur
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Elbow Tendinopathy (tennis and golfer’s elbow)
• Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
• Calcific Tendinopathy
• Hip Bursitis
• Shin Splints
• Myofascial Trigger Points
• Hallux Rigidus
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy
• Adductor Strain
• Hamstring Strain
• Stress Fractures
Your Physiotherapist will assess your condition and determine if Shockwave Therapy is ideal for you. Shockwave Therapy is not appropriate for the following health conditions: open wounds, cancer, pregnancy, infection, circulatory disorder, nerve disorder, and individuals taking blood-thinning medications.
