Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves as a physical therapy modality for selected soft-tissue and tendon-related pain concerns.
The old source describes shockwave as a treatment that may influence healing at a cellular level, increase blood flow, and help break up adhesions that restrict soft-tissue mobility.
Your physiotherapist completes a history and physical exam to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your pain, injury, or functional limitation.
A treatment option for persistent soft-tissue pain
Shockwave therapy may be considered for tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, sprains, strains, soft-tissue disorders, osteoarthritis, or frozen shoulder when clinically appropriate.
Every plan is based on your symptoms, goals, and clinical assessment. If this service is not the best fit, the Evolution team can guide you toward the right care option.
