Shockwave was first introduced in 1984 and is still used today! Hydro, magnetic, and piezoelectric sonic charges are delivered to pain points involving bones, tendons, muscles, ligaments, trigger points, and calcium build-ups. Shockwaves are delivered in adjustable intensities and pressure bars, with three sessions seeing lasting curative rates in 87% of patients.
In many instances, these treatments are as effective as surgery—especially when paired with simultaneous electromagnetic biostimulation.
Alberta Injury Management shockwave treatments are provided once a week for three weeks. If necessary, a fourth week will be scheduled at a reduced package rate. We anticipate healthy responses to the treatment, with a prognosis for a return to physical activity within four weeks of the initiation of treatment.
