Shockwave Therapy
Experience the Power of Shockwave Therapy at Strathcona Physical Therapy.
We are excited to offer shockwave therapy as part of our comprehensive range of treatment options. Shockwave therapy is an innovative and effective treatment method designed to address various musculoskeletal conditions, providing fast pain relief and promoting tissue regeneration.
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), involves the application of high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves stimulate the body's natural healing processes, enhancing blood flow, reducing pain, and accelerating tissue repair.
Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Plantar Fasciitis: Effective relief for heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Treatment for pain and inflammation in the elbow due to repetitive strain.
Calcific Tendonitis: Helps break down calcium deposits in tendons, commonly in the shoulder, to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Achilles Tendinopathy: Promotes healing of the Achilles tendon, reducing pain and enhancing function.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper's Knee): Targets pain and inflammation in the patellar tendon, aiding in recovery and strength.
Hip Pain and Trochanteric Bursitis: Alleviates pain and promotes healing in the hip region.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Treats trigger points and muscle pain, improving overall muscle function.
