Focused treatment for persistent pain and restricted movement

Shockwave Therapy in Brooks, Alberta

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers controlled acoustic waves into a focused area. It may help reduce pain, improve movement and support the body’s natural response in persistent soft-tissue and tendon-related concerns.

Your comfort is always a priority. Treatment is performed over clothing, so you do not need to undress. Please wear loose, flexible clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. For lower-body appointments, avoid jeans and choose athletic or loose-fitting pants.

Treatment intensity is adjusted throughout your appointment according to your comfort and tolerance. Our goal is to help you move more comfortably and return to your normal activities with less pain.

A focused, non-invasive treatment option

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy or ESWT, uses controlled acoustic waves delivered through a handheld applicator. It is commonly considered for persistent tendon and soft-tissue concerns that have not improved as expected with rest or other conservative care.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

The acoustic waves create controlled mechanical stimulation within the targeted area. This may influence local tissue activity, circulation and pain sensitivity while supporting improved movement and tissue tolerance.

Results vary depending on the condition, how long it has been present and how each person responds to treatment.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help With

Shockwave Therapy may be appropriate for concerns such as:

  • Plantar fasciitis and persistent heel pain
  • Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow
  • Calcific and other persistent shoulder concerns
  • Repetitive-strain and overuse injuries
  • Persistent soft-tissue pain and restricted movement
  • Certain areas of scar tissue or calcification

Shockwave Therapy is most commonly used for persistent concerns rather than every new or acute injury.

Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?

  • Non-invasive and drug-free
  • No needles, injections or surgery
  • Focused on a specific treatment area
  • Adjustable to your comfort and tolerance
  • May be combined with other treatment approaches when appropriate

What to Expect

You may hear a tapping sound and feel a pulsing sensation during treatment. Sensitive areas can feel uncomfortable, but the intensity is adjusted throughout the appointment according to your tolerance.

Your appointment also includes time to discuss your symptoms, movement and relevant history. Most clients can return to their usual daily activities afterward, although temporary tenderness may occur.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?

Shockwave Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. We will discuss your concern and decide whether Shockwave Therapy, RAPID-NFR, myofascial techniques, or a combination is the best approach.
