What is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an innovative, modern and highly effective treatment method. High-energy sound waves are introduced into areas of pain within the body where pathological alterations of tendons, ligaments, capsules, muscles and bones can be eliminated systematically. Shockwave Therapy uses the same acoustic wave technology that is used to break up kidney stones.
The beneficial effects of shock wave therapy are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments. The therapy eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life.

Shockwave Therapy Vancouver FAQs
What Is the Success Rate of Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy boasts an impressive success rate, with studies indicating that up to 90% of patients report a significant reduction in pain and improvement in mobility and blood circulation following just one or two sessions. This high efficacy rate underscores the treatment’s ability to target and alleviate the root causes of pain and dysfunction, making it a highly reliable option for those seeking non-invasive therapeutic interventions.
What Should I Expect After a Shockwave Therapy Session?
Following a shockwave therapy session, clients may notice a slight increase in discomfort or mild bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days. Most individuals experience a gradual improvement in pain and function as the healing process progresses, with significant benefits often reported after just a few treatments. It’s important to follow any post-treatment recommendations provided by your therapist to maximize effectiveness.
How Many Shockwave Therapy Sessions Will I Need?
The number of shockwave therapy sessions required varies depending on the individual’s condition, the severity of the issue, and their response to treatment. Generally, a series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced a week apart, is recommended for optimal results. Your physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and adjust it as necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.
