Quick, safe, lasting relief If you’re suffering from chronic muscle or joint pain, shockwave therapy can quickly deliver you lasting relief. Shockwave therapy — also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) — is a non-invasive treatment used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy and sports medicine. The “shockwave” is simply a sound wave that delivers energy to painful spots and enhances blood circulation. It promotes regeneration and repair of your bones and soft tissues, and helps ease pain. Shockwave therapy triggers the body’s natural healing response and many patients feel reduced pain and better mobility after just one treatment. There’s no anaesthesia or other drugs required and it has very limited side effects. It’s a great option if you have persistent chronic pain and injuries, especially: Shoulder pain including tendinitis and impingement Chronic muscular and tendon disorders Stubborn knots and scar tissue Tennis and golfer's elbow Hamstring pain Jumper's knee Groin and hip pain Back and neck pain Achilles tendon pain and heel spurs Plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma Why go forshockwave therapy? Eliminates pain Collapse Shockwave helps release painful trigger points, leading to a significant decrease in muscle tension and muscle spasms. Trigger points are extremely sensitive areas of tight, contracted muscle fibres that are a principal cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulder and limbs. They’re typically caused by injury, overuse or repetitive straining. Reverses chronic inflammation and promotes healing Expand Inflammation plays an essential role in healing and injury repair. Too much inflammation can damage healthy tissue and cause chronic pain. Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. Shockwave therapy accelerates the removal of histamine, lactic acid and other irritating agents. It increases oxygenation and the production of collagen — a protein responsible for the repair of damaged tissue and maintaining healthy joints in your body. Restores mobility Expand Calcification causes painful swelling around joints. Calcium build-up is most often a result of micro-tears or other trauma to a tendon. Shockwave therapy’s acoustic waves can break up calcification into granular particles of calcium that are then removed by your lymphatic system. The decalcification greatly reduces inflammation while promoting healing in the joint. As the injured area is returned to normal, mobility and functionality is restored, and your pain is relieved. Shockwave therapy frequently asked questions What can I expect during treatment? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment. The therapy works by using bursts of sound waves to break up scar tissue, knots and adhesions (scar tissue and knots within muscle fascia) and increase blood flow to the injured area. Most patients say it feels like small pulses against the skin. This helps to reduce inflammation, relieve the pain and stimulate the body's own healing processes. Patients experience no down time. How much does it cost? Is it covered by insurance? Your initial assessment and first shockwave therapy treatment cost $145. A 30-minute follow-up session cost $125. Typically, shockwave therapy is covered under physiotherapy. Please check with your insurer for coverage. Is shockwave therapy safe? Yes, it’s completely safe. You may experience some discomfort during the treatment and a little soreness afterwards (it will subside), but generally your pain will decrease almost immediately after treatment. How many sessions are needed? The number of treatments you need depends on the type of injury or condition being treated and your tissue's response to the treatment. Shockwave therapy treatments have a cumulative effect, so most people require more than one treatment. Patients can expect long term relief and lasting results in 3–6 sessions. Where do you offer shockwave therapy? Shockwave therapy is only available at our Bells Corners location. Contact us today to schedule an appointment Contact us today
