Shockwave Therapy and More in Airdrie

Yes. Research shows shock wave therapy can significantly improve conditions such as plantar fasciitis, calcific tendonitis, and tennis elbow. Improvement rates are reported to be between 77% and 91% depending on the condition. It works by stimulating tissue repair and improving blood flow, supporting long‑term healing.

Shockwave therapy has been shown to be effective at treating: • Tennis elbow • TMJ dysfunction • Plantar fasciitis • IT band syndrome • Shin splints • Patellar tendonitis • Bone fracture and spurs • Adhesions • Bursitis • Golfer’s elbow • Achilles tendonitis • Acute and chronic pain • Frozen shoulder • Pre-and post-joint replacement • Morton’s neuroma • Carpal tunnel • Trochanteric pain syndrome

Shockwave therapy tends to consist of three or four visits. Many clients note improvements after just the first visit, however others will not notice any improvements until the third treatment. Severe issues may need one or two booster sessions that are done as follow-up appointments.

Shockwave therapy has been subjected to vigorous scientific study. The results to date far exceed other types of treatments. The findings have been published in numerous well-respected medical journals: • “91% success rate of calcific tendonitis of the shoulder” – Journal of American Medical Association, 2003 • “90% success rate of plantar fasciitis” – The Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2005 • “77% success rate of tennis elbow” – The Journal of Orthopaedics, 2005

Dry needling has been shown to reduce pain in the short to medium term, with measurable improvements occurring as early as 72 hours after treatment and lasting for several weeks. It also influences pain‑related biomarkers, which may explain its therapeutic benefits.

Canadian guidelines recommend a clinical assessment within 72 hours of a suspected concussion, followed by gradual activity re‑introduction and targeted rehabilitation, such as vestibular therapy, if symptoms persist. Updated recommendations support earlier, individualized return‑to‑activity strategies to improve outcomes.

Vestibular rehab can help with dizziness, balance issues, visual disturbances, and motion sensitivity following a concussion. Canadian guidelines recommend targeted rehabilitation for individuals with persistent symptoms.

Yes. Low‑level laser therapy (LLLT) supports tissue healing by increasing cellular energy production and reducing inflammation. Studies show it can decrease musculoskeletal pain and improve function when applied with proper dosages.

Yes. Systematic reviews show that physiotherapy—especially manual therapy and exercise—improves pain, jaw mobility, and overall function for TMJ disorders. Exercise therapy specifically has been shown to help reduce pain and improve joint movement.
