Shockwave Therapy in Burnaby

Most patients rate discomfort at 5/10 or less during treatment. Your physiotherapy specialist adjusts the pressure intensity based on your comfort level, ensuring effective shockwave treatments within your tolerance. The therapeutic pressure feels similar to deep tissue massage.

Yes! Shockwave therapy works exceptionally well with manual therapy, corrective exercises, ultrasound, and other physiotherapy modalities for accelerated tissue healing. Our sports medicine approach integrates multiple treatment types for optimal results.

Side effects are minimal and temporary, including mild bruising, slight swelling, or tenderness lasting 24-48 hours. Unlike invasive medical procedures, shockwave therapy patients can return to daily activities immediately - no downtime or extensive rehabilitation required

Most conditions require three to six shockwave treatments spaced one week apart. Our physiotherapy team assesses patient progress after each session, with 70% of patients reporting significant pain reduction after just three treatments. The exact number depends on your condition type and severity.

Shockwave therapy sessions at our clinic typically range from $100-150 per treatment.
