Shockwave Therapy In Edmonton

Struggling with persistent, or chronic pain in your tendon’s or joints? Then you’ve come to the right-place!

What does shockwave therapy do?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), utilizes high-energy sound waves to jumpstart your body’s natural healing process and promote tissue regeneration.

Here’s how it works: Acoustic shockwaves are precisely applied to the injured area, penetrating deep into the tissues (we’re talking a few centimeters here!). This creates a controlled ‘micro trauma’ that stimulates your body’s natural healing response. This micro trauma kickstarts a cascade of biological processes, triggering the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.

The interesting part?

When Shockwave Therapy is applied to healthy tissue, you won’t feel much at all. But when it hits problematic areas—well, you’ll definitely know it! That’s how you know we are targeting the right spot.

How Shockwave Therapy Heals:

Enhances blood circulation

Stimulates collagen production

Breaks down calcifications and scar tissue

Promotes tissue regeneration

Releases healing factors, growth factors, and cytokines for improved tissue repair

And biology, is biology.
