Shockwave Therapy in Downtown Vancouver

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments available for chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. At Burrard Physiotherapy, our experienced team uses shockwave therapy to treat a wide range of conditions that haven’t responded to traditional physiotherapy alone.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy — also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) — delivers high-amplitude acoustic pulses deep into injured tissue. These pulses stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and nerve cells, triggering a controlled inflammatory response that reactivates the body’s natural healing process. This makes shockwave therapy particularly effective for chronic conditions where the body’s healing response has stalled.

What Shockwave Therapy Treats

Shockwave therapy has been validated in double-blind clinical studies as a highly effective treatment for many common conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonopathy, rotator cuff tendonopathy, tennis elbow, chronic knee tendonopathies, and hamstring injuries. Originally developed to break up kidney and gallstones, shockwave technology has since become a leading tool in physiotherapy, orthopaedics, urology, and cardiology.
