What to Expect During Your Shockwave Therapy Appointment
If you’re dealing with an injury or ongoing pain, Shockwave Therapy in Downtown Edmonton may be the right solution for you. This treatment is designed to promote healing and provide lasting pain relief by targeting issues at their root.
Your appointment will begin with a thorough assessment, including a review of your health history and range of motion testing. Your therapist will also discuss any specific concerns you’d like addressed. Depending on the treatment area, you may be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie under the linens on the massage table.
A conductive gel will be applied to the skin, and a handheld probe will deliver either high- or low-energy shockwaves based on your needs. These waves stimulate an inflammatory response in the body, encouraging tissue repair and healing. Some mild discomfort during the process is normal, but it should not feel overwhelming. Your therapist will adjust the intensity to match your comfort.
The shockwave portion of the session typically takes only part of the appointment, with the remaining time often used for complementary therapeutic massage techniques to enhance results.
After your treatment, it’s important to stay hydrated to help flush out any toxins released during the session. Your therapist may also recommend aftercare such as stretching, remedial exercises, or self-massage techniques to support your recovery. To maximize results, a follow-up treatment plan may be suggested, keeping you on track toward long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
Other Things to Know Before Your Shockwave Therapy Appointment
To get the best results from your Shockwave Therapy session in Downtown Edmonton, here are a few important tips to keep in mind:
Arrive Early
Give yourself a few extra minutes before your appointment to complete any paperwork and settle in. This helps you start your session feeling calm and prepared.Eat Light
Avoid heavy meals beforehand, as they can make it harder to relax and may interfere with treatment. A light meal an hour or two before your session is ideal. Try not to come on an empty stomach either—balanced energy levels are important.Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your session. Hydration supports toxin release, aids healing, and helps reduce post-treatment soreness.Dress Comfortably
Wear loose, comfortable, or athletic clothing that allows easy movement. Depending on the treatment area, you may need to partially undress. Your therapist will guide you, and you should always undress only to your personal comfort level.Communicate with Your Therapist
Keep an open dialogue during your appointment. If you feel discomfort or have areas of concern, let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity and technique to suit your needs.Rest Afterwards
Your body will need time to recover. Avoid intense exercise right after your session and allow yourself space to relax and heal.Follow Aftercare Guidance
Your therapist may suggest stretches, exercises, or self-care routines to extend the benefits of your treatment. Following these instructions helps maximize recovery and long-term results.
By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll set yourself up for a smoother, more effective Shockwave Therapy experience.
