The Solution to Your Pain Problems!
Do you suffer from chronic, persistent pain? Do you want a non-surgical alternative to resolve your condition? Serving the St. Albert and Edmonton area, MVMT Physio & Chiro offers the most cutting edge treatment for injury repair.
Radial shock wave therapy (SWT) also known as Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that uses a wand-like device to emit fast bursts of shock waves that penetrate soft tissues of the injured areas which:
A physiotherapist presses a handheld device called the pneumatic generator against the affected area. This device sends sound waves/shockwaves to the targeted tissue in order to break up calcium deposits and encourage blood flow in that particular area. As a result, this form of treatment promotes your body’s natural healing process. However, the exact mechanism of shockwave therapy is still unknown.
Radial Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive procedure provided without the use of any medication, for instance Cortisone injections. The treatment effectively supports and stimulates the body’s self healing mechanisms.
It is normal to experience immediate pain relief and improved movement right after treatment. There are little to no reported side effects. During your consultation with us, your physiotherapist will review all the possible side effects with you.
As few as 3 treatments can produce results. The majority of patients feel significant results after the first treatment, however some don’t notice until the third one. Most patients experience maximum relief in almost 3 months whereas you start noticing relief in 6 to 8 weeks after the key healing phase (fibroplasia) is over.
In some more severe cases, we have been able to successfully use radial shockwave treatments. On a case-by-case basis, the decision is made using thorough assessment and consultation with you.
