Have you been dealing with a bad case of plantar fasciitis and looking for relief? Do you have persistent pain in a tendon that seems to get worse whether you rest it or try to use it? At Evolution Physiotherapy in Edmonton, our physiotherapists use cutting-edge solutions, such as shockwave therapy, proven to deliver real results!
Shockwave therapy is a physical therapy modality that sends acoustic shock waves into soft tissue to affect the healing process at a cellular level positively and simultaneously breaks up adhesions that can restrict mobility in tendons or other soft tissues.
These shockwaves will cause movement of the particles in our tissues, resulting in increased blood flow to that area. This, in turn, helps alleviate pain (acute and chronic), improve tissue mobility, and improve the overall healing response.
Call Evolution Physiotherapy in Edmonton today to request an appointment and to learn more about our shockwave therapy treatments and how they can help you recover sooner and experience lasting relief!
What conditions benefit from shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy primarily provides pain relief while facilitating blood flow and promoting tissue healing. Research studies have shown that this treatment helps various soft-tissue disorders (e.g., sprains, strains, and tendinopathy), both acute and chronic conditions.
Our therapists at Evolution Physiotherapy in Edmonton will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to identify the source of your pain and functional limitations so that we can implement the most effective treatment strategies, including shockwave therapy, for your specific injury, ailment, or pain area.
Some of the more common soft tissue conditions that shockwave therapy can help treat are as follows:
- Neck and shoulder myofascial pain syndromes
- Chronic tendinopathies in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Chronic lower back pain
- Patellar tendonitis
- Achilles tendinopathies (acute and chronic conditions)
- Plantar fasciitis
Shockwave therapy can even be used to treat joint disorders such as osteoarthritis or frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). This non-invasive treatment is safe and may be just what helps you overcome the obstacle standing in the way of lasting relief.
Shockwave therapy can aid pain relief and increase blood flow, speeding healing and enhancing the quality of the repair. At Evolution Physiotherapy, we are skilled at identifying the most appropriate treatment to help you get back to doing what matters most to you!
