Alberta's Shockwave Pioneer
20+ Years of Shockwave Experience ✦ Alberta's First Shockwave Clinic ✦ 1000's of Successful Treatments
YOU’VE TRIED EVERYTHING — BUT THE PAIN KEEPS COMING BACK?
Maybe it's plantar fasciitis that makes every step painful. Or tennis elbow that flares up whenever you grip a racket. Or Achilles pain that's sidelined your training for months.
You've tried rest, stretching, cortisone shots, ice, heat—but the pain keeps returning.
Meanwhile, you're missing workouts, adjusting how you move just to get through the day, and wondering if surgery is your only option.
Here's the truth: Chronic tendon issues rarely heal on their own — but surgery isn't the only answer.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY: A PROVEN SOLUTION FOR STUBBORN CONDITIONS
Dynamic Physiotherapy was the first clinic in Alberta to offer shockwave therapy — introducing it back in 2004 when few others had even heard of it.
Over two decades and thousands of treatments later, we’ve refined our protocols to consistently help patients recover from long-standing, treatment-resistant conditions.
HOW SHOCKWAVE THERAPY TREATS CHRONIC PAIN
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue.
What it does:
⚡ Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications
🩸 Increases blood flow and oxygen to injured areas
🔬 Stimulates new cell growth and collagen production
🔥 Decreases chronic inflammation
⏩ Accelerates your body's natural repair process
The result?
Pain decreases, tissue heals, and you get lasting relief—often from conditions that haven't responded to anything else. At Dynamic Physiotherapy, shockwave is part of your complete treatment plan, supported by manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and education to ensure lasting results.
Shockwave treats the tendon, but IMS/Dry Needling is often needed to release the tight muscles that caused the strain in the first place.
CONDITIONS TREATED WITH SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Tennis or golfer's elbow
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy (shoulder pain)
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Calcific tendinitis
- Chronic hip or gluteal pain
Ideal if you:

- Want to avoid surgery or injections
- Need to return to sport or work quickly
- Have been told to "just live with it"

While highly effective for most chronic tendon issues, no treatment works 100% of the time. If results are limited, we’ll reassess and adjust your plan.
hockwave is a non-invasive, safe treatment. The most common side effect is mild, temporary soreness or "aching" in the treated area for 24–48 hours, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. Occasionally, patients may see minor redness or slight bruising. These are actually positive signs that the body’s natural healing response has been "restarted."
Shockwave Therapy is often considered a "middle ground" for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or rotator cuff tendonitis. While surgery involves downtime, anesthesia, and scar tissue, Shockwave requires zero recovery time and carries significantly lower risk. Many patients choose Shockwave as a final non-surgical attempt to resolve pain, often achieving results that allow them to avoid the operating room entirely.
