Langley Shockwave Therapy

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), uses targeted acoustic sound waves applied to specific areas of the body. These sound waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by increasing local circulation and encouraging tissue repair.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used for tendon and soft tissue conditions and does not involve needles, injections, or surgery.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy delivers controlled sound waves into injured or irritated tissue using a handheld device. These waves help stimulate blood flow, support tissue regeneration, and may reduce pain sensitivity in the treated area.

At Willow Wellness Physio in Langley, shockwave therapy is always guided by a thorough assessment. It is integrated with other treatment approaches such as physiotherapy, hands-on techniques, exercise rehabilitation, custom bracing, or orthotic support when appropriate.

Conditions Shockwave Therapy May Help With

Shockwave therapy may be used to support treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathy

• Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy in Langley

Shockwave therapy sessions are typically brief and performed in-clinic at Willow Wellness Physio. During treatment, a handheld device is applied to the targeted area to deliver controlled pulses of sound waves.

Some people experience mild to moderate discomfort during treatment, depending on the area being treated and individual sensitivity. Your clinician will adjust treatment settings to ensure it remains appropriate for your comfort and goals.

Most treatment plans involve a short series of sessions and are combined with other therapies to support optimal outcomes.
