How Does Shockwave Therapy Treatment Restore Function? 

Through targeted stimulation and pain reduction, shockwave therapy in Vancouver restores natural function and enhances recovery.

Increasing Blood Circulation

Shockwave therapy works by sending high-energy acoustic waves into the affected tissues, which enhances blood flow and improves circulation.

Reducing Inflammation

Inflammation is a common source of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave treatment helps to reduce inflammation by stimulating cellular activity and promoting the release of anti-inflammatory mediators.

Alleviating Pain

Shockwave provides immediate pain relief by desensitizing nerve endings in the treated area. This reduction in pain allows clients to engage in rehabilitation exercises and daily activities.
