Who Provides Shockwave Therapy at Fulcrum Therapy?
All of our chiropractors and physiotherapists are trained to provide shockwave therapy treatment to their patients.
Shockwave therapy is a highly effective and clinically proven modality and treatment option for ongoing and chronic soft tissue injuries and certain conditions, such as plantar fasciitis and calcific tendinitis.
The treatment is administered by our Coquitlam licensed chiropractors and physiotherapists with extensive training on various soft tissue injuries and their healing processes.
Tissue repair involves a series of musculoskeletal steps involving collagen deposition and blood vessel formations.
The high energy pulses of the shockwave facilitate the healing process by inducing microtrauma in the tissue, bringing more blood flow to result in superior Orthopaedic outcomes.
This non-surgical treatment method uses high energy sound waves to treat muscle and tendon issues.
