Shock-wave Therapy
Shock-wave Therapy
BTL Shock-wave therapy is a non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain. It brings high doses of sound energy to painful spots, triggering healing and the regeneration of tissue. Based on recent publications, shock-wave therapy is found to be favourable in persistent pain conditions for muscles and tendons.
Who Could Benefit:
Those with pain in shoulder, ankle, back, or heel
Those with Tennis Elbow, Runner’s Knee, and/or tendonitis

The benefits of completing a 6-8 sessions of shock-wave therapy can include:

To determine if you would benefit from the Shock-wave therapy, we encourage you to book a 45 Minute Initial Assessment with Jenn Chew. She will take a history of your area of concern, walk you through a series of functional tests, and determine if Shock-wave therapy is right for you. The number of sessions recommended varies depending on the patient, though most patients experience relief after the first treatment.
