Shockwave therapy in New Westminster.
For the tendon pain that has stopped responding to exercise alone.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY IN NEW WESTMINSTER
Why clients in New Westminster choose us.
Shockwave therapy at our New Westminster studio treats chronic tendinopathies that have plateaued on exercise alone: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and tennis or golfer's elbow. The studio is on the 2nd floor of the Shops at New West, directly inside New Westminster SkyTrain Station.
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.
Direct access from the SkyTrain station makes a weekly shockwave series easy to keep on schedule, and three physiotherapists here list shockwave in their public bios.

KIND WORDS
What New Westminster clients say.
"I’ve been working with Alex for physiotherapy due to sciatica that flares up when I work. Under his guidance, I’ve been focusing on building strength in my legs, hips, and overall body to support my condition. Alex has a great balance in his approach. He doesn’t over-coddle, but he also never pushes me beyond what my body can handle. Each session feels thoughtfully adjusted to my condition that day, which has helped me build strength with confidence and consistency. I also really appreciate how creative his exercises are. He uses a variety of tools and comes up with different ways to challenge the body, which keeps the sessions engaging and effective. On top of that, he’s very friendly and easy to work with, which makes a big difference when dealing with ongoing pain. I’ve also received dry needling treatments from Alex, and the results have been amazing. After each session, my lower back feels incredibly light and free. I honestly love his dry needling sessions and find them extremely effective. I’m very grateful for Alex’s support and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with pain or looking for a thoughtful, well-balanced physiotherapist."

FAQ
Shockwave Therapy in New Westminster: questions.
Who delivers shockwave therapy at the New Westminster studio?
+
Three New Westminster physiotherapists list shockwave therapy in their public bios: Alex Carrod, Anjali Johal and Tina Ko. Shockwave is part of an integrated treatment plan, so the physiotherapist you see confirms your diagnosis first, then delivers the sessions and prescribes the loading program around them.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance at New Westminster?
+
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 New Westminster?
+
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.
Can I choose which New Westminster physiotherapist gives my shockwave sessions?
+
Yes. When you book through JaneApp, choose Alex Carrod, Anjali Johal or Tina Ko, because each lists shockwave therapy in the bio on their profile page. Alex Carrod's bio centres on knee, running and cycling injuries, and Anjali Johal's on sports-related injuries. Ask the front desk if you want help picking.
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 New Westminster studio for a shockwave appointment?
+
The studio is on the 2nd floor of the Shops at New West, directly inside New Westminster SkyTrain Station, so there is no outdoor walk from the platform. Bus routes 106, 128, 154 and 155 stop at the station. Parking is at the SkyTrain station and on surrounding streets.
Is there an extra charge for shockwave on top of the physiotherapy visit?
+
Yes. The rate card lists a $5 surcharge for shockwave on a private-pay session, added to the standard physiotherapy visit fee for that length of appointment. There is no separate surcharge under ICBC or WorkSafeBC billing.
Can shockwave therapy make the pain worse before it improves?
+
Mild soreness or bruising at the treated site for a day or two afterward is common and expected. A flare that lasts noticeably longer than that, or new pain in a different area, is not typical and should be reported to your physiotherapist at the next session so the plan can be adjusted.
