Shockwave Therapy at First Care Centre

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to address various musculoskeletal conditions. During a shockwave therapy treatment, a device delivers controlled shockwaves to the affected area of the body. These shockwaves help stimulate the body’s natural healing process by increasing blood circulation, promoting tissue regeneration, and reducing pain.

One of the significant advantages of shockwave therapy is that is does not require surgical intervention or the use of medications. This treatment is considered safe with minimal side effects, which include temporary soreness or redness in the treated area.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy Can Help Treat:

- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Achilles tendonitis (inflammation of the Achilles tendon)
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
- Rotator cuff tendonitis (shoulder pain)
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Hip bursitis
- Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome)
- Stress fractures
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
- Trigger points (muscle knots)

One treatment is typically administered in several sessions, and each session lasts around 10 to 20 minutes.

However safe, shockwave therapy is not for everyone. Fill out the form below, or give us a call today to find out if shockwave therapy is right for you!

Have been going to this centre for many years with severe back problems, and over the years have had several surgeries on both shoulders. I can't say enough about the 2 doctors in this centre as they have fixed everything wrong with me. They are top notch and very caring people who take the time to get involved with indivual cases.Sheila Kavanagh

The service and treatment was exceptional to address a back injury that happened just days before an international flight. Both Dr Adan’s were extremely attentive to make sure I would be almost pain free to tolerate the long flight. Thank you to Sabine for fitting me in their hectic schedules. I was pain free within a day of my arrival. Thank you all!Fanny Bevilacqua
I've been going to this clinic for over 2 years now both for Chiropractic and massage therapy. Very professional staff who are all wonderfully friendly. They really focus on you & your well-being during the appointment. You can tell they truly care about the patients; not quick turnaround to push them in & out. 5 stars all around!
