Shockwave Therapy London, Ontario

Highly Effective for reducing painful tendon & ligament injuries


Effective and Non-Invasive and can be used on different Body Parts


Shockwave therapy is a very effective modality for pain management. It is fast, non-invasive and cost-effective. It can be used on different body parts in management of chronic and acute pain like patellar tip syndrome or jumper's knee, tendinopathies, muscular strains of neck and back, elbow pain and plantar fasciitis.

This technique first emerged around the 1980s employing mechanical acoustic waves in a procedure called extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and since then a lot of research has been made for its safe use in orthopedics and sports injuries management. It is now one of the sought after procedures in physiotherapy and sports medicine.

Shockwaves can produce intracellular, intercellular and extracellular responses, producing various useful effects such as: pain relief, improved blood flow, protein synthesis and destruction of calcium deposits in musculoskeletal structures like calcific supraspinatus tendinitis in the shoulder.
