Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy
Our shockwave therapy treatments offer a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain. Using a specialized shockwave machine, we deliver strong energy pulses to the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This targeted therapy helps relieve pain by breaking down adhesions, releasing trigger points, and improving circulation.
Below, we outline the common conditions we treat and how we can help:
Tendinitis
Tendinitis occurs when tendons become inflamed or irritated, often from overuse or repetitive movements. Common areas include the shoulder, elbow, and Achilles tendon. Shockwave therapy promotes healing by stimulating blood flow and breaking down scar tissue, offering long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
Plantar Fasciitis
This condition causes pain in the bottom of the foot, particularly in the heel, due to the tearing of the plantar fascia. Shockwave therapy helps by improving blood circulation and stimulating the tissue to heal naturally, providing relief from chronic discomfort.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia refers to pain in the ball of the foot caused by stress or overuse. Custom orthotics can provide targeted cushioning and pressure redistribution across the metatarsal region, reducing pain and improving overall foot function.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Tennis elbow is caused by repetitive strain on the forearm tendons, leading to pain and reduced grip strength. Shockwave therapy encourages tissue regeneration and reduces pain by targeting the root cause of the inflammation.
Calcific Shoulder Tendinopathy
This condition involves calcium deposits in the rotator cuff tendons, causing stiffness and shoulder pain. Shockwave therapy can help dissolve calcium buildup and restore mobility while reducing inflammation and discomfort.
Shin Splints
Often experienced by runners, shin splints cause pain along the shinbone due to stress on the muscles and bones. Shockwave therapy accelerates recovery by increasing circulation and encouraging the repair of soft tissues.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
This overuse injury involves pain in the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone. Shockwave therapy stimulates collagen production and accelerates the healing of damaged tendons, reducing pain and improving function.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
A frozen shoulder causes stiffness and a limited range of motion due to inflammation and tightness in the shoulder capsule. Shockwave therapy helps loosen tight tissues, improve circulation, and reduce pain.
Hamstring Strains
Hamstring strains result from overstretching or tearing the muscles at the back of the thigh, often affecting athletes. Shockwave therapy helps speed up the recovery process by breaking down scar tissue, reducing inflammation, and improving flexibility.

What is Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that produces an acoustic pressure wave to stimulate healing in the body. This cutting-edge technology is delivered through a specialized shockwave machine that targets specific areas of pain or injury. The “shock” waves penetrate deeply into the damaged tissue, breaking down scar tissue, increasing blood flow, and triggering the body’s natural repair processes. This makes shockwave therapy ideal for treating musculoskeletal conditions like tendonitis, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip or shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, and other chronic injuries. It’s commonly used alongside sports medicine for sports injuries as well.

FAQ
How much does shockwave therapy cost in Vancouver?
These treatments in Vancouver typically range between $105 to $130 per session, depending on the initial treatment or subsequent sessions and if it’s being coupled with other care (i.e. chiropractic care).
Is shockwave therapy safe?
Yes, shockwave therapy is considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified healthcare professional. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target specific areas of the body without breaking the skin, with little to no recovery time.
How does shockwave therapy work?
Shockwave therapy works by delivering controlled high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves stimulate cellular activity and cell growth, encouraging tissue regeneration and collagen production. They also break down calcium deposits and release tight trigger points, helping to reduce pain and inflammation. Over several sessions, the treatment accelerates healing and restores function, helping most patients achieve long-lasting relief.
With no need for surgery or downtime, it’s a safe, effective option for promoting pain relief and restoring mobility.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Shockwave therapy may be covered by your extended health insurance plan, but coverage varies depending on your provider and policy.
We do not directly bill insurance companies on your behalf. To receive reimbursement, you will need to submit the necessary documents directly to your insurance provider.
