Have you been dealing with a bad case of plantar fasciitis and looking for relief? Do you have persistent pain in a tendon that seems to get worse whether you rest it or try to use it? At The Sports Clinic in Oakville and Carlisle, ON, our physiotherapists utilize cutting-edge solutions, like shockwave therapy, that are proven to provide real results!
Shockwave therapy is a Physiotherapy modality that sends acoustic shock waves into soft tissue to positively affect the healing process at a cellular level and simultaneously breaks up adhesions that can restrict mobility in tendons or other soft tissues in the body.
These shockwaves will cause movement of the particles in our tissues, resulting in increased blood flow to that area. This, in turn, helps alleviate pain (acute and chronic), improve tissue mobility, and improve the overall healing response.
Call The Sports Clinic in Oakville and Carlisle, ON today to request an appointment and to learn more about our shockwave therapy treatments and how they can help you recover sooner and experience lasting relief!
What conditions benefit from shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy primarily provides pain relief while facilitating blood flow and promoting tissue healing. Research studies have shown this treatment to help various soft tissue disorders (i.e., sprains, strains, and tendinopathy), both acute and chronic conditions.
Our therapists at The Sports Clinic in Oakville and Carlisle, ON will conduct a thorough history and physical examination to identify the source of your pain and functional limitations so we can implement the most effective treatment strategies, including shockwave, for your specific injury, ailment, or area of pain.
Some of the more common soft tissue conditions that shockwave therapy can help treat are as follows:
- Neck and shoulder myofascial pain syndromes
- Chronic tendinopathies in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Chronic lower back pain
- Patellar tendonitis
- Achilles tendinopathies (acute and chronic conditions)
- Plantar fasciitis
Shockwave therapy can even be applied to joint disorders like osteoarthritis or frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). This non-invasive treatment is safe and may be the very thing that helps get you over the obstacle standing in your way of finding lasting relief.
Shockwave therapy can aid pain relief and increase blood flow to speed the healing rate and enhance the quality of the repair. At The Sports Clinic, we are skilled at identifying the most appropriate treatment to successfully treat various conditions so you can get back to doing what matters most to you!
