Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal tissues, tendons, ligaments and muscles. It’s used to promote tissue regeneration, improve blood flow and reduce pain associated with chronic conditions. This therapy is especially good for people with tendon issues, like plantar fasciitis and calcific shoulder tendinopathy, to encourage the body’s natural healing process. At Strive Physiotherapy, our clinic offers shockwave therapy in Calgary using this approach to help patients recover from chronic musculoskeletal injuries without surgery.
Shockwave therapy has many benefits, pain reduction, tissue healing and mobility. Research shows it can speed up recovery of chronic musculoskeletal injuries by promoting cell regeneration and reducing inflammation. Patients looking for shockwave therapy in Calgary experience relief from long standing conditions that haven’t responded to other conservative treatments. Also, this therapy can minimize the need for medications and invasive procedures, a safe and evidence-based option for pain management.
Shockwave therapy is considered safe and well tolerated for musculoskeletal conditions when performed by a trained healthcare provider. Research shows adverse effects are usually mild and temporary, pain, redness, swelling at the treatment area which usually resolves within a few days. Serious complications are rare, but use caution if you have blood clotting disorders, infections, tumors or are pregnant. When done properly shockwave therapy is low risk and a non-invasive option for pain relief and tissue healing.
