Getting You Better With Best Modalities

Shockwave Therapy: Markham & Newmarket

Shockwave therapy, offered in Markham and Newmarket, is an adjunct modality used by therapists for the treatment of many types of musculoskeletal conditions. It is primarily used for chronic conditions (occurring for over 6 months) and focuses on the recovery of medium and large sized tendons. Tendons are what attaches muscles to bones.

It has been shown that shockwave therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing response and has an effect on nerve endings to reduce pain.

How Do I Get Started With Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is currently being used by our in-house physiotherapists and chiropractors.

In order to start your therapy, you need to be thoroughly assessed by a physiotherapist or chiropractor to make sure that you would be a candidate for shockwave therapy. We also need to make sure that there are no contraindications to shockwave therapy. A contraindication would be any reason where shockwave therapy would not be indicated in your case.

More likely than not, your therapist would recommend shockwave therapy as part of your treatment plan that may also include rehabilitation exercises, soft tissue therapy, mobilizations or other forms of treatment.
