Shockwave Therapy

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs & Chronic Tendon Pain in Calgary.

Shockwave therapy is a proven, non-invasive solution for musculoskeletal pain. Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate deep tissue healing — targeting the root cause of your pain rather than just treating symptoms.

Many Calgary patients have tried stretching, orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and months of physical therapy without relief. When conservative treatments fail, shockwave therapy can break down scar tissue, dissolve calcified deposits, and trigger your body’s natural healing response.

At Osteo Health, we combine shockwave therapy with massage therapy and osteopathy for faster, more complete recovery. Most patients with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, tennis elbow, and chronic tendon pain see significant improvement in just 3–6 sessions. The best part? Results are cumulative and often permanent, with many patients staying pain-free long after treatment ends.

FAQ

Most patients with chronic pain problems have been through various unsuccessful types of treatments. Up to 80% of the same patients worldwide report that Shockwave therapy has helped them eliminate their problem.

There may be a slight feeling of discomfort during the treatment, depending on the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area. However, since the treatment lasts only about five minutes, most patients are able to tolerate this discomfort. Additionally, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted throughout the session.

The number of treatments varies depending on the indication and tissue response. The effect of the treatment is cumulative, so you will typically need 4-6 treatments. Very often though, you will experience relief right after the first treatment.

Most indications require one treatment per week, depending on the patient’s tolerance and their tissue response.

Most patients will experience an immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2–4 hours after the treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as tolerable and not limiting.

It is recommended that patients refrain from physical activity, especially one that would involve the treated region, for about 48 hours following each treatment session.
