Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves which carry high energy pulses into the treatment area triggering biological effect leading to faster healing. It creates micro-trauma in the area and promotes new blood flow as well as repair and regeneration. It uses technology similar to the one used to break up kidney stones. Common conditions treated with shockwave therapy:
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis and golfer's elbow
  • Calcifications in rotator cuff tendons
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Knee osteoarthritis
  • Jumper's knee
  • Heel spur
  • Greater trochanteric pain syndrome
​If you are interested in shockwave therapy book your assessment with Dr. Anna Dowgialo, Chiropractor at Preserve Health Centre in North Oakville.
​Cost: Initial assessment/treatment is $90, subsequent visit is $65.
