Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non‑invasive treatment that uses a series of high‑energy sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues, stimulating blood flow and increasing the production of growth factors. It’s commonly used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, especially those involving ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue.

“Target stubborn pain. Support natural healing.”

How can Shockwave Therapy Help?

Shockwave therapy is often recommended for conditions that haven’t responded well to traditional treatments like rest or medication. It’s particularly helpful for chronic pain or inflammation involving muscles, tendons, or ligaments.

Common conditions treated

Feet
• Plantar fasciitis  • Heel spurs  • Achilles tendonitis

Elbow
• Tennis elbow  • Golfer’s elbow

Shoulder
• Rotator cuff tendinopathy

Knee
• Patellar tendonitis (Jumper’s knee)

Hip
• Bursitis

Legs & Back
• IT band syndrome  • Shin splints  • Chronic lower back pain

You may feel mild discomfort during a session. Afterwards, some people experience soreness, tenderness, redness, or localized swelling—normal signs that your body is beginning to heal.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your appointment begins with a comprehensive assessment to ensure that shockwave therapy is the right fit for you. Your practitioner will:

• Discuss your symptoms and health history
• Determine the best treatment approach
• Provide a customized care plan, which may include home exercises and activity modifications

How Long Is a Shockwave Therapy Session?

Each session at Bodiworks is about 30 minutes—time for a quick check‑in, the treatment itself, and follow‑up recommendations such as exercises or activity modifications. Because the therapy is non‑invasive and has minimal downtime, you can return to regular activities right after your appointment.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients require 3–6 sessions, spaced roughly one week apart. The exact number depends on:

• Severity and duration of your condition
• Your overall health and healing capacity
• Whether you combine shockwave with other treatments such as physiotherapy

Many people begin to feel relief after just 1–2 sessions, with continued improvement throughout the course of treatment.
