Shockwave Therapy in North York

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for conditions that cause chronic pain such as tendinitis.

In order to treat inflamed areas of the body that are in persistent pain, shockwave therapy involves generating wave pulses similar to sound waves called rapid frequency vibration (RPV) on the target area. This action promotes bone and tissue healing with minimum discomfort and recovery time.

At our North York location, our team of specialists apply shockwave therapy in the areas of:

• Physiotherapy
• Sports medicine
• Orthopedics
• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Workplace Related Accidents (WSIB)

How Shockwave Therapy at Our North York Clinic Works

At our North York clinic, we apply our shockwave therapy treatments in multiple sessions that are designed to accelerate healing at the same time as decreasing overall pain.

Shockwave therapy treatment sessions aim to:

• Stimulate cells – Promote regeneration and regrowth at the cellular level.
• Stimulate blood flow – Causes more blood to reach the affected area which in turn accelerates the healing process and reduces inflammation.
• Decrease muscle tones and spasms – Ensures overall pain reduction.

Our experienced staff of healthcare professionals achieves this by employing high-energy acoustic RPV waves.
