Shockwave Therapy Ottawa | For Chronic Pain Relief | Care2Cure Physiotherapy

 The purpose of the Shockwave Therapy is to trigger the body's natural healing response with the help of an applicator which is used to direct radial ‘shockwaves’ on the part of the body to be treated.

 How does shockwave therapy work?

Shockwave therapy is a modification that is becoming common in physiotherapy. It includes using much lower energy than in medical applications. Shockwave therapy is used in treating many musculoskeletal conditions, majorly those which involve the connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.

Once the PT has identified in which part of the body the complaint originates, and which shockwave therapy suitable method to be used, some gel is applied to the stressed area. Then the Shockwave device is used which contains a fast-moving projectile controlled by a compressor. This projectile helps transmit the energy to the applicator to generate the radial shockwaves, which then gets absorbed and spread through the body. The frequency and pressure of the waves are adjustable.

 It is normal to experience temporary soreness, tenderness, or swelling for a few days following the procedure after the treatment, as the shockwaves stimulate an inflammatory response. But this is the natural process of the body healing itself. So, it is notable not to take any anti-inflammatory medication after the treatment, as it may slow down the results.

Almost immediately after completing your treatment. you can resume most of the daily activities.
