⚡ 1. It’s not an electrical shock
Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic pressure waves targeted at the affected tissue. It’s non-invasive, with no needles, injections, or surgery.
⏱️ 2. Treatment is quick
The shockwave portion of an appointment can take approximately 5–10 minutes, depending on the area and treatment protocol.
😬 3. It feels kinda funny
Most people describe a firm, repetitive tapping sensation. You may experience some discomfort, particularly over a sensitive area, but the intensity can be adjusted to your tolerance.
🔬 4. There’s clinical research behind it
Shockwave Therapy has been studied for conditions including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, calcific shoulder tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
📊 5. The results are promising
Clinical studies using STORZ Shockwave Therapy devices report up to 84% improvement for plantar fasciitis, 91% for calcific shoulder tendinitis, and 77% for tennis elbow, according to Shockwave Canada.
✨ 6. It’s designed to support recovery
