What Is Radial Shockwave Therapy?

Radial shockwave therapy also known as Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a safe and non-invasive advanced technology that uses a wand-like device to emit fast bursts of strong energy pulses that penetrate soft tissues of the injured areas which: 

  • Breaks up scar tissues on tendons and ligaments.
  • Creates an optimal environment for cellular repair and tissue healing.
  • Decreases sensitivity of pain receptors.
  • Increases local blood flow.
  • Regenerates damaged tissue, blood vessels and bone cells.
  • Reverses chronic inflammation.
  • Stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal.
Why Choose Our Shockwave Therapy Team?

Our cutting edge physiotherapists will take your recovery seriously. We want to help our patients reach their optimal health potential and live a pain free life. Through a detailed assessment, they will determine if you are a good candidate for shockwave therapy. With the latest research, best practice standards and high success rates for shockwave therapy, our physical therapists are highly knowledgeable in human movement biomechanics.

At Body Restoration, we combine traditional physiotherapy treatment with shockwave treatment to facilitate a quicker recovery. Shockwave regenerative healing is particularly helpful with chronic conditions, persistent pain and is an effective non-surgical alternative to resolve your condition. Radial shockwave wave therapy is available in our two Edmonton South locations, Windermere and Rivebend.

What Are the Potential Side Effects of Radial Shockwave Treatment?

Radial Shockwave Therapy is applied without medication, for example steroid injection. The treatment stimulates and effectively supports the body’s natural healing process. It is usual to experience immediate pain relief following the treatment and hence improved movement. Reported side effects are minimal. Your therapist will review all potential side effects with you at your visit.
