Shockwave therapy in Burnaby is one of the most effective physiotherapy tools for stubborn pain that won’t go away on its own. At Metrotown Active Health in Burnaby, we use shockwave to help patients recover from tendonitis, muscle injuries, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder pain, and long-standing overuse injuries.
Unlike traditional treatments, shockwave stimulates your body’s healing at a deeper level — helping chronic conditions finally resolve.
⭐ What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue repair. When applied to an injured tendon or muscle, the waves:
Increase blood flow
Break down scar tissue
Reduce inflammation
Trigger regeneration
Improve mobility
Reduce pain sensitivity
Many patients feel improvement within 1–3 sessions.
⭐ Conditions Shockwave Is Excellent For
Shockwave is ideal for chronic, stubborn conditions like:
Tendinopathies
Achilles tendonitis
Patellar tendon pain
Elbow tendonitis (tennis/golfer’s elbow)
Foot & heel pain
Plantar fasciitis
Heel spurs
Shoulder injuries
Calcific tendonitis
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Hip pain
Gluteal tendinopathy
IT band issues
Other chronic muscle injuries
If you’ve tried stretching, massage, or exercises without long-term improvement — shockwave is often the missing piece.
⭐ What Does Shockwave Feel Like?
Patients describe it as:
“A tapping sensation”
“Pressure that releases tightness”
“Uncomfortable but satisfying”
Intensity is adjusted based on your tolerance.
⭐ Shockwave + Physiotherapy = Best Results
At MAHI, shockwave is always combined with:
Manual therapy
Strengthening
Mobility training
This ensures lasting improvement rather than temporary relief.
