Radial Shockwave® Therapy
A Highly Effective Treatment Option!
If you suffer from chronic tendonitis or bursitis and conventional physiotherapy and infiltration have failed to produce the desired results, this treatment may make all the difference.
Research shows that clients experience over 80% improvement with Radial Shockwave Therapy® together with significant or total pain relief and increased mobility and are able to resume their normal activities.
The physiotherapists in our clinics have been using this method of treatment for over five years. It is reliable and effective, and we recommend it in full confidence.
Radial Shockwave Therapy® is recommended for:
- Shoulder tendonitis or bursitis (calcific and non-calcific)
- Elbow tendonitis, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
- Hip bursitis (trochanteric)
- Knee tendonitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Heel spurs
How It Works
This treatment is based on the innovative principle of generating a new inflammatory response to stimulate and accelerate the natural healing process. A series of micro-percussions also helps break down adhesions and scar tissue.
The device uses a compressor and a piston to deliver a series of percussions to the treated surface and underlying tissue, producing radial shockwaves. To maximize comfort and results, the physiotherapist adjusts the pressure depending on the depth of penetration required to treat the affected area. Radial Shockwave Therapy ® technology has been used in Europe and around the world since 1997.
- Radial Shockwave Therapy ® is currently available at our Fleury St. clinic in Montréal.
