Shockwave therapy is a modern and highly effective treatment option in orthopedic and rehabilitation medicine. The term shockwave refers to mechanical pressure pulses that expand as a wave in the body. In modern pain therapy, shockwave energy is conducted from the point of orig

in to the painful body regions, where it applies its healing capacities.
The first medical treatment with shockwaves was lithotripsy. This allowed focused shockwaves to essentially dissolve kidney stones without surgical intervention. Today, over 98% of all kidney stones are treated with this technology. The use of shockwaves to treat tendon related pain began in the early 1990s.

Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

At Active Physio Centre, we have two shockwave therapy systems to assist ...
... in the treatment of soft tissue conditions. Shockwave therapy is a medical device used to treat and relieve the pain associated with soft tissue conditions such as tendonitis and heel spurs.

During this treatment, an acoustic pulse is transmitted into the affected bone or soft tissue, reinjuring the area on a cellular level. The controlled reinjuring of tissue stimulates the body's natural healing process resulting in faster healing and reduced pain.
Our Shock Wave Therapy System has provided pain relief in up to 90% of the patients treated in health centres and is now available at Active Physio Centre. For more information visit the site http://activephysiocentre.ca/
