How does shockwave therapy work?

Shockwave Therapy involves the application of high-frequency, high-energy, acoustic waves to a local area for a short period of time. Shockwaves are applied directly to the site of injury or pain in order to:

Increase blood flow and new blood vessel formation
Decrease persistent or chronic inflammation
Stimulate collagen production
Decrease calcifications and break down scar tissue
Decrease pain
Release muscle trigger points
Stimulate cellular repair and tissue healing

What can I expect when receiving shockwave therapy treatment?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment. Your physiotherapist or chiropractor will locate the area to be treated and will let you know whether or not you are a good candidate for shockwave therapy.

Gel (similar to ultrasound gel) will be applied to the area, in order to transfer the acoustic waves efficiently and smoothly. The shockwave applicator will be pressed against the area and turned on. Treatment times can range from 3-15 minutes, depending on the condition/area being treated.

If you continue to experience pain and conservative physiotherapy or chiropractic has not helped, you may be a candidate for shockwave therapy. Schedule an appointment or a discovery call to learn more.
