Shockwave Therapy

Welcome to Realign Pro Physiotherapy, your trusted destination for state-of-the-art shockwave therapy in Edmonton. By harnessing the power of sound waves, shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive, safe, and highly effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Our mission is to help you relieve pain, restore function, and accelerate recovery through advanced shockwave therapy techniques.

Understanding Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes high-intensity sound waves to interact with the body’s tissues. This process stimulates natural healing mechanisms, including:

• Increasing Blood Flow
• Accelerating Cellular Metabolism
• Promoting New Blood Vessel Formation

These effects contribute to faster tissue regeneration and repair, making shockwave therapy an excellent option for relieving pain and improving mobility.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave therapy effectively addresses a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Tennis Elbow
• Calcific Tendinitis
• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Jumper’s Knee (Patellar Tendonitis)
• Shoulder Pain
• Hip Pain (Trochanteric Bursitis and Hip Osteoarthritis)
• Scar Tissue Treatment
• Bone Healing
• Erectile Dysfunction

If you’re experiencing any of these conditions, our team at Realign Pro Physiotherapy is here to help.

Our Approach to Shockwave Therapy

At Realign Pro Physiotherapy, we take a patient-focused and evidence-based approach to shockwave therapy. Here’s what you can expect:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if shockwave therapy is suitable for you.
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Your therapy is tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals.
• Quick and Effective Sessions: Each session typically lasts 10-15 minutes and does not require anesthesia.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

The shockwave therapy process involves applying a specialized device to the targeted area. This device emits high-energy impulses that penetrate the skin and interact with the underlying tissues.

Key Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

• Increased Blood Flow: Enhances nutrient and oxygen delivery to damaged tissues.
• Breakdown of Calcified Fibroblasts: Helps dissolve calcium deposits in soft tissues.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: Supports tissue repair and regeneration.
• Pain and Inflammation Reduction: Releases natural inhibitors to alleviate discomfort.
• Scar Tissue Breakdown: Improves flexibility and mobility in affected areas.

These mechanisms work together to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore normal tissue function.

Complementing Traditional Physiotherapy

Shockwave therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or integrated into a broader physiotherapy plan. When combined with traditional methods, it enhances outcomes and accelerates recovery.

Your Safety is Our Priority

At Realign Pro Physiotherapy, your safety and comfort are paramount. We adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and effective treatment experience.

• Nerve Disorders

Our team will carefully assess your medical history to determine the best treatment options for you.
