Shockwave Therapy Sherwood Park
If you have been dealing with a tendon injury or chronic pain that hasn’t responded to rest, massage, or other conservative care, shockwave therapy is often the next step. At our Sherwood Park clinic on Broadmoor Boulevard, it is one of the most commonly requested treatments for persistent musculoskeletal conditions — particularly tendons, which heal slowly because of their limited blood supply.
Your first appointment begins with an assessment so your therapist understands the condition, how long you have had it, and what has and hasn’t worked. Treatment is tailored to your tolerance and adjusted in real time.

Conditions We Treat With Shockwave Therapy in Sherwood Park
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is the most common reason people seek shockwave therapy in Sherwood Park. The sharp heel pain with the first steps of the morning — particularly after the condition has been present for months — is a sign that the plantar fascia has undergone structural changes that make it resistant to stretching and massage alone. Shockwave therapy stimulates circulation and cellular repair directly in the affected tissue, targeting what conservative care can’t reach.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Whether the pain is at the mid-tendon or where the Achilles inserts into the heel, chronic Achilles tendinopathy responds well to shockwave therapy. Tendons that have been repetitively loaded without adequate recovery degrade over time, and shockwave therapy triggers the controlled healing response needed to reverse that. It’s a common treatment for runners and active people in Sherwood Park who haven’t been able to resolve Achilles pain through stretching and loading programs alone.
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) are overuse injuries of the elbow tendons — common not just in racket sports but in anyone doing repetitive gripping, lifting, or desk-based work. If elbow pain has persisted for more than a few months and is limiting your grip strength or daily function, shockwave therapy is worth discussing with your therapist at your Sherwood Park appointment.
Calcific Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Calcium deposits in the rotator cuff tendons cause intense shoulder pain that is often difficult to treat conservatively. Shockwave therapy is effective at breaking down these calcifications and stimulating surrounding tendon tissue. It is also used for rotator cuff tendinopathy without calcification — particularly when shoulder pain has persisted through other treatments and range of motion remains limited.
Patellar Tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy — pain at the base of the kneecap where the patellar tendon attaches — is common in people who run, jump, squat, or are on their feet for long shifts. Shockwave therapy promotes tendon remodelling and is typically paired with a guided loading program from your therapist to support lasting recovery.
Chronic Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain
Persistent trigger points in the neck, upper back, and hips that haven’t resolved with manual therapy can be treated with shockwave therapy. The acoustic waves disrupt the contracted muscle fibres and improve local circulation — useful for pain patterns that have only produced temporary relief from other treatments.
What to Expect at Your Sherwood Park Appointment
Your appointment starts with an assessment. Your therapist reviews your health history, tests range of motion, and identifies the specific tissue involved before any treatment begins. This shapes how the shockwave is applied and at what intensity.
During treatment, a conductive gel is applied to the area and a handheld probe delivers targeted acoustic waves to the affected tissue. The sensation is a deep, repetitive pressure — most clients describe it as intense but tolerable. Intensity is adjusted throughout based on your feedback.
After the appointment, mild soreness in the treated area is normal for one to two days. Your therapist will give you specific guidance on activity and any exercises that support recovery between sessions. Most conditions respond within three to six sessions, spaced approximately one week apart.
Before Your Visit
Avoid anti-inflammatory medication before your appointment if possible — NSAIDs taken before treatment can reduce the effectiveness of the healing response shockwave therapy is designed to trigger.
Wear clothing that allows access to the treatment area. A conductive gel is applied directly to skin. Shorts, a tank top, or loose layers work depending on the area being treated.
Ease back on intense loading for 24–48 hours after treatment. Some post-treatment soreness is part of the process.
If you are pregnant, have active cancer, a pacemaker, or an open wound or fracture in the treatment area, let your therapist know before booking. These are contraindications for shockwave therapy.

What to know
Before Your Visit
Arrive Early
A few minutes before your appointment lets you complete paperwork and settle in before treatment begins.
Eat Light
Avoid heavy meals for 1–2 hours beforehand. A light snack is fine — an empty stomach can cause lightheadedness.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after. Hydration helps flush out waste released during treatment and reduces post-session soreness.
Dress Comfortably
Wear loose-fitting or athletic clothing that allows free movement. Your therapist will advise on draping based on your treatment.
Communicate
Share your concerns, injuries, and goals before the session starts — and keep the dialogue open throughout so adjustments can be made in real time.
Rest After
Skip intense activity after your session and give your body time to integrate the treatment.
Follow Aftercare
Your therapist may prescribe specific stretches, exercises, or self-care strategies. Following through ensures the best long-term results.
Medical Clearance
If you are pregnant, undergoing cancer treatment, or recently injured, consult your healthcare provider before booking. Your safety comes first.

FAQ
What does shockwave therapy feel like?
You'll feel a rapid tapping or pressure sensation — sometimes uncomfortable in tender areas. The intensity is adjustable and the sessions are short. Most patients find it very manageable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most conditions respond to 3–5 sessions spaced one week apart. Your therapist will assess progress after each treatment and adjust accordingly.
Is shockwave therapy effective for plantar fasciitis?
Yes — plantar fasciitis is one of the most well-researched applications for shockwave therapy. Clinical studies show significant pain reduction and functional improvement, particularly in chronic cases.
Who is shockwave therapy not suitable for?
Shockwave is not recommended during pregnancy, over active growth plates in children, over pacemakers or implanted devices, or in areas with active infection or circulation disorders. We screen for contraindications before every session.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Some extended health benefits cover shockwave when performed by an RMT or physiotherapist. We recommend checking with your provider. Payment is due at time of service and we provide receipts for self-submission.
