Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy

Innovative treatments like shockwave therapy are revolutionizing pain management and rehabilitation. At Dynamic Physiotherapy & Chiropractic, we proudly offer the latest shockwave therapy using the Storz Masterpuls ultra to deliver exceptional results in Kanata.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target painful areas of the body. These acoustic waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, promoting tissue repair, reducing pain, enhancing blood circulation, and improving mobility.

The effects are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments, with little to no downtime. This non-surgical therapy is effective in eliminating pain and restoring mobility, thus quickly improving a patient’s quality of life.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy involves applying high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area of the body to regenerate damaged tissue and accelerate the healing process.

The acoustic waves promote increased blood flow, collagen production, and cellular repair. The therapy helps reduce inflammation, break down scar tissue, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

Each shockwave session typically lasts around 3-4 minutes, however, your practitioner may include other treatment techniques in addition to the shockwave during your appointment. Most patients notice significant pain relief and improved mobility after just a few treatments. This non-invasive approach provides effective results without the need for surgery or medication, making it a great option for those experiencing chronic pain and injuries.
