The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

OTTAWA, Ontario - Dec. 29, 2021 - PRLog -- But that doesn't mean its effectiveness should be dismissed. As a beneficial physiotherapy option for patients seeking relief across a broad range of chronic and acute muscle and tendon conditions, you may be interested in learning more about its benefits.

Shockwave therapy (SWT) has been successfully used in sports medicine for decades to treat professional athletes needing to return to their sport quickly. You, too, can benefit from the same professional care at Ottawa Health Performance and Rehabilitation.

We invite you to make an appointment with Dr. Rich Raigoza to experience the benefits of shockwave therapy in Ottawa today

Advanced Physiotherapy Near You

One of the things that patients appreciate the most about SWT is the speed at which they can receive treatment. Unlike a sports massage which can take between 30 – 60 minutes, shockwave treatments require only 3 – 5 minutes at each location being treated.

In most cases, multiple treatments will be necessary, but the convenience and efficiency of each appointment make the treatment something quickly done on a lunch hour or on the way home from work or school.

A few of the most common uses for this form of advanced physiotherapy near you include:

• Increased range of motion
• Reduction of inflammation
• Enhanced muscle performance
• Bone healing
• Achilles' tendinopathy
• Golfer's and tennis elbow
• Tendinopathy in the shoulder
• Back pain
• Rotator cuff conditions
• Plantar fasciitis
• Localized pain management
• And more

If you don't see your condition mentioned above, it does not mean that shockwave therapy or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is not suitable for you. Because this treatment protocol can benefit a wide range of concerns, it's not possible to list them all here. Instead, we invite you to call us to learn more.
