As one of our specialized services, shockwave therapy allows us the ability to treat chronic conditions safely and effectively. Using protocols proven through research, we screen our patients carefully to ensure cases are appropriate for shockwave therapy. Most patients who follow our recommendations experience 70-90% resolution of their condition.

Shockwave therapy has been effective and indicated for the following conditions:

• Treatment of tendinopathies
• Chronic hamstring conditions
• Myofascial trigger points
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Bursitis
• Tendonitis
• Scar tissue
• Jumper’s knee

• Nonunions
• Tennis elbow
• Patellar tendinitis
• Plantar fasciitis/heel spurs
• Shin splints
• Stress fractures
• Enhancement of bone healing
• Calcific rotator cuff tendinitis

Protocol of Care

We use only protocols of care that are proven through research when providing shockwave therapy. Patients are seen for 3-6 visits, having one session per week. Patients often experience relief after 1-3 sessions. The maximum effect of having shockwave therapy will occur 8-12 weeks after completing the protocol of care, as tissue regeneration requires this time.

Shockwave therapy is covered by most private insurance plans under chiropractic or physiotherapy.
