Shockwave Therapy at Teamworks
Personalized Shockwave Therapy Treatments in Vancouver
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy waves to promote healing in injured muscles, tendons, and joints. It helps by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, breaking down scar tissue or calcium deposits, and stimulating natural healing.
It’s commonly used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and shoulder pain. Treatment involves applying a gel to the skin and using a handheld device to deliver the shockwaves. Sessions last about 5–20 minutes, with 3–6 sessions usually recommended.
The procedure is generally safe, with minor side effects like mild soreness or swelling. It’s not recommended for pregnant women or those with pacemakers or bleeding disorders.
