Shockwave Therapy Calgary | NW Chiropractic & Massage

Dr. Michael Lau offers radial shockwave therapy at NW Chiropractic & Massage, conveniently located in NW Calgary near Brentwood, Dalhousie, and Varsity. Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tendons, muscles, and connective tissue. Whether you’re suffering from chronic heel pain, a stubborn sports injury, or a tendon condition that hasn’t responded to other treatments, shockwave therapy may be the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

What Conditions Does Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave therapy at our NW Calgary clinic effectively treats plantar fasciitis and heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff tendinitis, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, patellar tendinitis, hip flexor and IT band syndrome, calcific tendinitis, shin splints, and chronic neck and back muscle tightness. If you have been dealing with pain that has not improved with rest, massage, or other therapies, shockwave may provide the breakthrough healing your body needs.

What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Session

Each shockwave therapy session at NW Chiropractic & Massage in NW Calgary typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Dr. Lau will apply a gel to the treatment area and use a handheld applicator to deliver focused acoustic pulses directly to the affected tissue. You may feel a tapping sensation and mild discomfort during treatment, which is normal and indicates the therapy is working. Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions spaced one week apart for optimal results. Many patients begin noticing improvement within 2 to 3 sessions.
