Are you struggling with chronic pain, tendon injuries, heel pain, tennis elbow, or a condition that just won’t heal?
If you’ve been dealing with ongoing pain for months and traditional treatments have not provided lasting relief, Shockwave Therapy in Hamilton may help. At MedHealth Physiotherapy, we offer advanced shockwave therapy to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and help patients return to normal activities without surgery or injections.
Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinitis, Achilles tendonitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
The treatment helps improve blood circulation, increase tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen production, break down scar tissue, and promote healing in injured tendons, muscles, and soft tissues.
Despite its name, shockwave therapy does not involve electrical shocks. Instead, it uses focused pressure waves that are delivered directly to the injured area.
Shockwave therapy helps accelerate healing by:
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of chronic heel pain. Many patients experience sharp pain with their first steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Shockwave therapy can help stimulate healing of the plantar fascia and reduce long-standing heel pain.
Tennis elbow often causes pain on the outside of the elbow during gripping, lifting, typing, or repetitive arm movements. Shockwave therapy can promote tendon healing and reduce chronic elbow pain when symptoms have persisted for several months.
Achilles tendonitis and Achilles tendinopathy commonly affect runners and active individuals. Shockwave therapy helps stimulate tendon repair, improve circulation, and reduce chronic pain at the back of the ankle.
Your physiotherapist will first perform a comprehensive assessment to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.
During treatment, a handheld shockwave device is applied to the affected area. You may feel mild pressure, tapping, or discomfort during the session, but treatment is generally well tolerated.
Most sessions last approximately 10 to 20 minutes, and many patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments depending on their condition and goals.
Shockwave therapy is often recommended for patients with chronic tendon injuries or soft tissue conditions that have not responded well to rest, stretching, exercise, medication, or other conservative treatments.
If you’ve had symptoms lasting longer than 3 months, shockwave therapy may be an effective treatment option.
At MedHealth Physiotherapy, shockwave therapy is often combined with a comprehensive rehabilitation program that may include:
This combined approach helps address both symptoms and the underlying cause of your condition.
