Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an evidence-based treatment used to address chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions. The therapy delivers targeted acoustic pressure waves to injured tissue, helping stimulate circulation and support the body’s natural repair processes.

At Kinective Health & Performance, shockwave therapy may be incorporated into chiropractic or physiotherapy treatment sessions when clinically appropriate. It is often used for persistent tendon pain, overuse injuries, and conditions that have not improved with rest or other conservative treatments.

Shockwave therapy is typically integrated into a broader rehabilitation plan that may include manual therapy, mobility work, and strengthening exercises to support long-term recovery and improved function.

If you are interested in shockwave therapy, please book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists or chiropractors to determine whether it is appropriate for your condition.
