What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy uses a clinically-proven device to deliver shockwaves from compressed air with a moving projectile within the applicator to stimulate metabolic reactions within your tissues. Shockwave has also been well-researched to reduce pain felt by nerve fibers, increase blood circulation in the surrounding tissues and activate cells for the body’s healing process.

Shockwave therapy is a growing method for addressing physical conditions that may not respond to typical therapy methods. This method can be used in physical therapy, sports medicine, and orthopedic cases to repair common musculoskeletal issues.

At Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehabilitation, we offer shockwave therapy to improve long-lasting chronic pain. The force of shockwaves are so powerful that similar procedures are used to break down calcium deposits and even kidney stones. However, these waves are not painful.

Who Benefits from Shockwave Therapy?

Some conditions are resistant to traditional therapies in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Shockwave therapy is beneficial in helping patients, both athletes and non-athletes, with a range of these conditions, including:

  • Chronic tendinitis
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
  • Tendinopathy in the shoulder
  • Golfer’s elbow
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Shin splints
  • Tennis elbow

Chronic tendinopathy, in particular, with its localized pain and detriment to tendons, is often difficult to correct with traditional methods. However, research has found that shockwave therapy may be helpful if a patient’s chronic tendinopathy doesn’t respond to typical therapies.

Our team will assess your condition to determine whether shockwave therapy is beneficial for you and then set up a protocol to fit your needs.

Our Dolorclast Shockwave System

At our multidisciplinary health clinic, we use the Swiss-made Dolorclast Shockwave system by EMS Medical. Although it is more expensive than other shockwave therapy devices, this system provides significant and effective results, which is why we chose it. In fact, most published studies regarding shockwave therapy use the same device we do!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Ottawa Physiotherapy Clinic FAQs

What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing in tissues. It stimulates metabolic activity, increases blood flow, breaks down calcifications, and activates the body’s natural healing response, making it effective for chronic pain relief and conditions like tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs. The shockwaves target the affected area, helping break down scar tissue, reduce soft tissue inflammation, and accelerate recovery.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated, but typically patients undergo 3-6 treatment sessions. Your therapist will tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs and monitor your progress. Patients may experience improvement after just a few sessions, but full recovery may require consistent treatment over several weeks.
Shockwave treatment is ideal for individuals suffering from chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not responded to traditional treatments, such as physiotherapy. It is particularly effective for conditions like tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific shoulder tendinitis. Athletes and non-athletes alike can benefit from shockwave therapy when dealing with persistent trigger point pain and limited mobility. Our expert therapists can help determine if shockwave therapy is the right choice for you.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy accelerates recovery by increasing circulation and stimulating cellular activity in damaged tissues. It promotes collagen production and reduces inflammation, aiding in the repair of tendons, muscles, and ligaments. By breaking down scar tissue and encouraging natural healing processes, shockwave therapy can significantly shorten recovery time for many musculoskeletal conditions.
