Shockwave Therapy in Calgary

Aid for Chronic Pain Relief and More Mobility

When tight muscles or stubborn tendon pain don’t respond to standard care, shockwave therapy may support your body’s healing and mobility. At Center For Healthy Living, we combine this innovative approach with chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy to help you move better and feel stronger, as a non-invasive option that fits easily into most routines.

How Using Sound Therapy Works

Shockwave uses focused acoustic waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. The waves may aid with blood flow, reduce scar tissue, and help repair muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s a non-invasive method that works well alongside other therapies to enhance overall recovery and mobility.

Your chiropractor or therapist may recommend this therapy to complement adjustments or rehabilitation exercises. By improving tissue quality and reducing irritation, it may help accelerate your progress and support lasting comfort.

Most sessions last 10-20 minutes, and discomfort is minimal. Some patients report improvement by the third to fifth session, though results vary.
