Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured or painful areas of the body. This stimulates cellular repair, increases blood flow, and breaks down calcifications - making it highly effective for chronic tendon injuries and conditions that haven't responded to other treatments.
Shockwave therapy is backed by strong clinical evidence for a range of tendinopathies and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It's a non-invasive, non-surgical option that is often effective where physiotherapy, massage, and other conservative treatments have provided limited relief. At Life Integrative, shockwave is delivered by our chiropractors and can be combined with other treatments for a comprehensive approach to stubborn conditions.

What We Treat
Your First Visit
A clinical assessment to confirm diagnosis and determine whether shockwave is the right approach for your condition.
A handheld applicator delivers acoustic waves to the targeted area. Sessions are brief - typically 5-10 minutes per site.
A course of treatment is typically spread over several weeks. Your practitioner will advise on the number of sessions and spacing based on your condition and response.
Some temporary discomfort and mild soreness is normal post-treatment. Most patients experience significant pain relief within a few weeks.
