Conditions Treated with Shockwave Treatment
Double-blind, randomized, controlled studies have shown up to a 91% improvement rate and an 84% overall success rate across a wide range of conditions.
Shockwave treatment is a non-invasive, evidence-based option that uses focused acoustic energy to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and restore function. At Kelowna Shockwave, we offer targeted treatments for a wide range of musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions — helping you recover faster without surgery or medication.
Core Treatable Conditions
- Plantar Fasciitis: Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel or arch due to inflammation of the plantar fascia. Shockwave reduces pain and accelerates healing in this highly common condition.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Pain and stiffness at the back of the heel caused by strain or overuse of the Achilles tendon. Shockwave helps break down scar tissue and improve mobility.
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Outer elbow pain from repetitive forearm movement. Shockwave targets the damaged tendon and promotes tissue repair.
- Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inner side of the elbow related to gripping or lifting. Shockwave encourages blood flow and tendon recovery.
- Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee): Pain just below the kneecap caused by repetitive jumping or knee strain. Shockwave reduces inflammation and improves tendon function.
- Shoulder Calcific Tendinopathy: Calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon causing pain and stiffness. Shockwave helps break down the calcification and restore mobility.
- Chronic Muscle Pain & Trigger Points: Persistent muscle tension or “knots” that limit movement and cause discomfort. Shockwave treatment relaxes tight areas and improves circulation.
Additional Treatable Conditions
- Hip Pain / Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: Lateral hip pain caused by gluteal tendinopathy or bursitis. Shockwave reduces inflammation and enhances hip function.
- Hamstring Tendinopathy: Pain near the base of the buttock or back of the thigh, often seen in athletes. Shockwave supports tendon healing and flexibility.
- IT Band Syndrome: Tightness and discomfort on the outer thigh or knee, common in runners. Shockwave helps release tension in the iliotibial band.
- Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Pain along the inner shin caused by repetitive activity. Shockwave improves healing and reduces strain on the lower leg.
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Chronic pain due to tight fascia and muscle fibers. Shockwave relieves soft tissue tension and enhances mobility.
- Scar Tissue / Post-Surgical Adhesions: Thickened tissue that restricts movement or causes pain after injury or surgery. Shockwave breaks up adhesions to restore range of motion.
Not Sure If Your Condition Qualifies?
If you’re experiencing chronic pain or discomfort that hasn’t responded to traditional treatment, shockwave treatment may be the next step. Book your session today to see if it’s the right fit for you.
