Your care starts with a thorough assessment by our physiotherapist or chiropractor to confirm the diagnosis and determine if shockwave is appropriate.

During Your Session: Step by Step

• A gel is applied to the skin to conduct the acoustic waves.
• The handpiece delivers controlled pulses to the target area for 5–10 minutes.
• Intensity is adjusted to your comfort level in real time.
• We pair shockwave with corrective exercises, mobility work, and load management.

Most care plans include 3–6 sessions, usually spaced one week apart. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within 2–3 visits.

What It Feels Like

• You may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation with mild to moderate tenderness.
• The intensity is highly adjustable—you remain in control.
• Temporary soreness for 24–48 hours is normal and typically a sign of the healing response.

Preparation and Aftercare

• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated.
• Avoid heavy workouts for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
• Ice can help if soreness occurs; stay hydrated and keep moving gently.
• Unless advised otherwise, limit anti-inflammatory medications right before and after sessions, as they can dampen the therapeutic response.

Safety and Candidacy

Shockwave therapy is non-invasive and well tolerated. It is not recommended over open growth plates, active infections, or in certain circulatory disorders. We’ll screen for these and answer all questions before starting.
