Persistent tendon, muscle, or soft-tissue discomfort can affect walking, exercise, work, and everyday movement. Shock wave therapy uses controlled acoustic waves directed toward selected areas as part of a rehabilitation program. At Hyland Physiotherapy and Wellness, we offer shock wave therapy in Surrey BC based on the affected area, current symptoms, and the overall treatment plan.
Here are the main treatment areas our shock wave therapy care can address:
At our shock wave therapy clinic in Surrey BC, treatment is selected after considering the affected area and the patient’s current condition. Treatment settings can be adjusted according to tolerance and response.
Shock wave therapy uses a specialized device to deliver controlled acoustic waves to a selected treatment area. Before beginning, the therapist identifies the area requiring attention and considers the patient’s symptoms, activity level, and tolerance.
During treatment, the applicator is positioned over the selected area and the intensity is adjusted according to the treatment plan. Some people experience pressure, tapping, or discomfort during the application. Your therapist monitors your response throughout the session and can adjust treatment when necessary.
Shock wave therapy is often considered as one part of rehabilitation rather than the complete treatment program. Depending on the condition, sessions may be combined with strengthening, stretching, mobility work, activity modification, or other physiotherapy approaches.
Some tendon and soft-tissue concerns can remain uncomfortable despite changes in activity. Hyland Physiotherapy and Wellness provides shock wave therapy in Surrey as one possible component of care for selected ongoing conditions.
Here are several concerns that may be addressed during ongoing shock wave therapy care:
Regular review allows the treatment plan to change as symptoms and tolerance change. We consider shock wave therapy together with rehabilitation rather than treating every patient with the same protocol.
Shock wave therapy is directed toward selected areas based on the patient’s symptoms and treatment assessment.
