Shockwave Therapy
A Non-Invasive Effective Treatment
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) in Surrey is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target painful spots in the musculoskeletal system. This energy promotes regeneration and aids in repairing tendons, joints, bones and other soft tissues. Shockwave also helps to speed up recovery, decrease pain, and increase range of motion.

What to Expect From Shockwave Therapy in Surrey
Each shockwave session takes about 10–15 minutes. A handheld device delivers acoustic pulses to the injured area, stimulating blood flow and your body’s natural healing response. Most patients need 3–6 sessions spaced about a week apart, and many feel relief from chronic tendon and joint pain that hasn’t responded to rest or other treatment.
At our South Surrey clinic, shockwave therapy is provided by our chiropractors and physiotherapists, so it fits into your existing treatment plan. It also works well alongside registered massage therapy as part of a complete recovery plan.
