What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used by physiotherapists and physicians to treat musculoskeletal conditions that have resulted in persistent pain ( > 3 months) and lost mobility, and which have been resistant to conventional treatments, such as lateral epicondylitis, patellar tendinitis, or plantar fasciitis. It is a safe and effective treatment. Most people experience relief after only a few treatments - they are pain free, with mobility restored and are able to return to work and/or sport.
Shockwave therapy is also used in orthopedic conditions such as delayed or non union fractures, avascular necrosis, some urological conditions as well and in veterinary medicine.
Shockwave therapy uses mechanical energy in the form of acoustic waves that increase local circulation and stimulate the body’s healing process. Treatment is targeted on the damaged tissue through the hand held applicator and can enhance breakdown of adhesions, scar tissue and calcification. Each session lasts approximately five minutes.
Research & Evidence
Approved by Health Canada, shockwave therapy is now being more extensively used in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries all around the world in rehab and physiotherapy clinics and is the subject of numerous studies that show its effectiveness and efficacy.

Testimonials
"Tammy was fantastic to work with. She was very friendly, knowledgable, and responsive to questions. I really like that they also have a physio for us to speak with directly and to help train the clinicians at Rise. We are already seeing good results with the shockwave and are happy to have it as one more tool available to our team. Thanks very much for your great service to us!"

"We really enjoyed our training session with Rosen. He was informative and organized, and answered all of our questions in a patient and professional manner."

"Rosen was absolutely fantastic! I wish we had that session when we got the device. It makes so much more sense now: how to maintain it, how to use it effectively for different injuries, the appropriate positioning of the head, number of shocks, intensity, etc. Rosen was SO helpful. I recommend to anyone who purchases a shockwave device to take this training session before even turning it on for the first time."

"Training excelled in providing us with guidelines for clinical 'real world' applications of the modality."
