SHOCKWAVE THERAPY IN LOUGHEED

Why clients in Lougheed choose us.

Shockwave therapy at our Lougheed studio treats chronic tendinopathies that have not settled with exercise alone: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and tennis or golfer's elbow. It is delivered by a physiotherapist on Level 1 of the Residential Podium at the City of Lougheed, a five-minute walk from Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain.

A course usually runs three to six weekly sessions, each 10 to 15 minutes, paired with the loading program that keeps the tendon improving between visits. Your physiotherapist confirms the diagnosis first, since shockwave suits chronic tendinopathy and is not the right tool for every sore tendon.

The same physiotherapist who diagnoses the tendinopathy delivers the shockwave sessions and writes the loading program, so the plan stays with one clinician rather than being split across providers.

"After seeing different physiotherapists and chiropractors for over 10 years, I can confidently say Byron is one of the best physiotherapists I’ve worked with. From my very first appointment, he established that the goal wasn’t just to treat my pain temporarily, but to build a strong foundation so my back could heal properly for the long term. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. For the first time, I truly understood why I was experiencing my symptoms and what the recovery process would look like. What really sets Byron apart is how thoughtful and patient he is. He always explains the purpose behind every exercise and how each one fits into my recovery plan. If an exercise feels too difficult or aggravates my symptoms, he genuinely listens to my feedback and quickly modifies the exercises so I can continue progressing safely. I never feel like my concerns are dismissed, and I always leave each session feeling informed, heard, and supported. After just one month of following his treatment plan, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my back pain, strength, and confidence with movement. Although recovery will still take time, it’s been incredibly encouraging to regain a sense of control and independence in my daily life. It’s reassuring to see real progress after struggling with recurring back issues for so many years. Another thing I really appreciate is the teamwork at the clinic. If I’m unable to see Byron for one of my appointments, he collaborates closely with the another physiotherapist (Harleen) and thoroughly communicates my condition, treatment progress, and goals. Because of this, I never feel like I’m starting over with someone new. It’s reassuring to know I’ll receive the same high quality of care regardless of who I see. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at Launch Rehab. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who takes the time to educate you, creates a personalized recovery plan, and genuinely invests in your recovery, I highly recommend Byron. The quality of care I’ve received has been exceptional, and I’m incredibly grateful for his help."

FAQ

Shockwave Therapy in Lougheed: questions.

Who delivers shockwave therapy at the Lougheed studio?

+

A physiotherapist registered with the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC, as part of an integrated treatment plan rather than a stand-alone walk-in service. The same physiotherapist confirms your diagnosis, delivers the shockwave sessions, and prescribes the loading program around them.

Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance at Lougheed?

+

Shockwave bills under physiotherapy, which most extended health plans cover; we direct-bill Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield and others up to your plan limit. ICBC pre-approves shockwave for accepted post-crash claims when clinically indicated, and WorkSafeBC coverage needs adjudicator approval.

How many shockwave sessions will I need at Lougheed?

+

Most published protocols run three to six sessions, one per week. Some longstanding cases benefit from a second course after a rest period. Your physiotherapist gives you a realistic range after confirming the diagnosis at the first visit.

Does shockwave therapy hurt?

+

It is uncomfortable rather than painful. The applicator delivers a calibrated dose of acoustic pulses over the tender area, and most clients describe it as deep, focal pressure. Your physiotherapist starts at a lower intensity and adjusts based on how you tolerate it.

Can I book shockwave therapy directly, or do I need a referral?

+

No referral is needed. Physiotherapy is direct-access in BC, so you can book online through JaneApp. Your first visit confirms the diagnosis and rules out the conditions where shockwave is not appropriate before any treatment starts.

How do I get to the Lougheed studio for a shockwave appointment?

+

From Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain, it is a five-minute walk through City of Lougheed Mall to Level 1, above CIBC and next to LifeLabs. Paid underground parking is available by PriceSmart Foods, or free parking for up to four hours at the adjacent mall lot.
