Shockwave Therapy

Currently available at our New Westminster studio, shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing and promote tissue repair. This therapy was initially developed to break down kidney stones without surgery, but its applications have expanded to various musculoskeletal conditions.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy offers a promising approach for individuals seeking pain relief and improved tissue healing without resorting to surgery or medication. If you’re considering shockwave therapy, consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if it’s an appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

Preparation: You may need to wear specific clothing, and a coupling gel might be applied to the treatment area.

  • Pain Reduction: Shockwave therapy effectively reduces pain by targeting the source of discomfort. It is commonly used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and muscle strains.
  • Tissue Healing: The controlled microtrauma initiated by shockwave therapy accelerates tissue healing. This is particularly beneficial for chronic injuries that have not responded to other treatments.
  • Improved Blood Flow: Shockwave therapy increases blood circulation to the treated area, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for tissue repair.
  • Reduced Inflammation: By promoting tissue healing and regeneration, shockwave therapy can help reduce inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Muscle Relaxation: The waves from shockwave therapy can help relax tight muscles, leading to improved flexibility and reduced muscle tension.
  • Non-Invasive: Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery, making it an attractive option for individuals looking to avoid invasive procedures.
  • Orthopedic Conditions: Shockwave therapy has shown positive outcomes in treating a range of orthopedic conditions, including calcific shoulder tendinitis, tennis elbow, and hip pain.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience long-lasting relief from chronic pain and improved function after a series of shockwave therapy sessions.
