Non-invasive, clinically proven treatment for chronic pain, tendon injuries, and soft-tissue conditions — delivered by registered physiotherapists at Urban Wellness Clinic.
Shockwave therapy — formally known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) — uses low-energy acoustic pressure waves directed at damaged tissue. These waves create controlled microtrauma, triggering the body’s natural healing response: boosting blood flow, breaking down scar tissue or calcium deposits, and encouraging cellular regeneration.
At Urban Wellness Clinic, we use Storz medical devices — FDA- and Health Canada-approved — trusted by physiotherapists and sports medicine professionals worldwide. Treatment is quick, effective, and requires no downtime.
Our focused pulses stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms — no drugs, no needles, no recovery period required.
Acoustic waves activate fibroblasts, increasing collagen production to rebuild and strengthen damaged tissue.
Micro-vascular stimulation increases blood flow to the injured area, accelerating the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
Shockwaves modulate the local inflammatory response, reducing chronic swelling and easing persistent discomfort.
Calcium build-up and scar tissue are mechanically disrupted, restoring healthy tissue mobility and reducing pain.
Repeated stimulation reduces neural hypersensitivity, providing lasting relief from chronic pain signals.
Most patients notice pain relief after just 1–2 sessions, with more substantial results over a course of 3–5 treatments.

Shockwave therapy is especially powerful where tendons attach to bone — areas that are slow to heal and resistant to conventional treatment.
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis respond exceptionally well to shockwave therapy. We break up calcium deposits, reduce tension in the plantar fascia, and stimulate tissue regeneration — often where orthotics and stretching have failed.
Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee) and shin splints respond well to targeted acoustic waves. Shockwave reduces inflammation and stimulates healing where traditional rest alone falls short.
Chronic rotator cuff tendonitis and calcific tendonitis often resist conservative treatment. Shockwave breaks down calcium buildup, promotes new tissue formation, and helps restore full shoulder mobility.
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow respond quickly to shockwave therapy. By stimulating blood flow and resolving micro-tears in the tendon, we reduce pain and restore grip strength effectively.
Greater trochanteric bursitis and deep trigger points in muscles are addressed with targeted acoustic waves. These painful spots cause referred pain and limited motion — shockwave relieves both.
