Shockwave Therapy is a modern treatment designed to help the body heal stubborn injuries and chronic pain. By delivering targeted acoustic waves into affected tissues, shockwave therapy stimulates circulation, breaks down scar tissue and calcifications, and encourages the body's natural healing process.

At Wood Buffalo Massage & Osteopathic Therapy Clinic, shockwave therapy is used to help patients recover from persistent musculoskeletal conditions when traditional treatments alone are not enough.

Many patients experience improved mobility, reduced pain, and faster recovery after a series of treatments.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used for chronic conditions affecting muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.

Conditions we commonly treat include:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
• Golfer’s Elbow
• Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
• Shoulder Calcifications
• Achilles Tendinitis
• Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee)
• Hip Pain and Gluteal Tendinopathy
• Chronic Muscle Tightness
• Scar Tissue and Adhesions

If you have been experiencing persistent pain or slow healing, shockwave therapy may be an effective treatment option.

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered through a handheld device applied to the skin.

These waves help:

✔ Stimulate blood flow
✔ Break down scar tissue and calcified deposits
✔ Reduce chronic inflammation
✔ Activate the body’s natural healing response
✔ Improve tissue regeneration

Treatment sessions typically take 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

During your visit:

1. The practitioner will assess your condition and determine if shockwave therapy is appropriate.
    
2. A gel is applied to the treatment area.
    
3. The shockwave device delivers targeted pulses to the affected tissues.
    

Most patients describe the sensation as rapid tapping or pulsing. Intensity can be adjusted for comfort.

Some mild soreness may occur after treatment, which usually resolves within 24–48 hours.

Most conditions respond well to 3–6 treatments, spaced about one week apart.

Improvement can often be felt after the first few sessions, though healing continues over several weeks as the body regenerates tissue.

• Non-surgical treatment
• No injections required
• Minimal downtime
• Stimulates natural healing
• Effective for chronic conditions

Shockwave therapy is widely used in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal care.

Shockwave therapy is typically recommended for patients who:

• Have chronic pain lasting more than 6 weeks
• Have not responded to other conservative treatments
• Want to avoid injections or surgery
• Are dealing with stubborn tendon or soft tissue injuries

Our practitioners will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

If you are struggling with persistent pain or slow recovery, shockwave therapy may help restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
