What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to reduce pain and promote healing. Originally developed to treat kidney stones, it has since become a popular technique in physiotherapy, injury rehabilitation, orthopedics and sports medicine. The shock waves are delivered to the injured/damaged area of your body, resulting in reduced pain, improved tissue function and quicker healing. Each session lasts about 15-30 minutes, depending on the patient’s condition. 

Physiotherapy First offers effective shockwave therapy in Brampton to relieve pain and restore limited mobility. This non-invasive treatment, a specialty of our shockwave therapy clinic in Brampton, uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process, thereby helping you recover faster. We may integrate it into your treatment plan after assessing your health needs. Whether you are experiencing chronic muscle pain or conditions like plantar fasciitis, this therapy can bring non-surgical pain relief in Brampton.

Recovery & Exercise Program

What Do Our Shockwave Therapy Techniques Involve?

Application of shockwaves
The physiotherapist uses a handheld device to generate and transmit shockwaves to the targeted area. The shockwaves may spread out over a larger area or target a specific point at a precise depth, as customized by the professional.
Targeting the affected cells
The shockwaves penetrate the soft tissues like muscles, tissues and sometimes bones. They create mechanical stress in the area, which disrupts the chronic scar tissue that the body has otherwise ignored.
Biological healing response
This mechanical stress leads to a massive healing response. Once they reach the desired depth, the high-energy waves increase blood circulation, stimulate various cellular processes, and reduce pain. Shockwave therapy in Brampton works by desensitizing nerve endings in that area.
