Shockwave Therapy
Triggering cellular repair
When pain becomes chronic, or when healing stalls, Shockwave Therapy offers a proven way to restart your body’s natural repair process – without surgery or medication. At Vital Touch, we use shockwave therapy to treat a range of soft tissue, tendon, and bone-related conditions.
This technology delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, stimulating blood flow, breaking down scar tissue or calcification, and triggering cellular repair.
It’s fast, effective, and backed by evidence.
What It Helps With
Shockwave therapy is particularly effective for conditions that
are resistant to rest, medication, or conventional
physiotherapy.
Common conditions we treat include:
- Shoulder pain (e.g. calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff problems)
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Shin splints
- Chronic muscle strains and overuse injuries
- Back and neck pain linked to soft tissue dysfunction
- Sever’s disease and Osgood-Schlatter (growth-related conditions in children and teens)
What to Expect
Treatment is delivered via a handheld device that transmits
acoustic pulses into the target tissue. Most patients experience a
noticeable reduction in pain and improvement in mobility within
3 to 6 sessions.
Clinical studies show success rates of up to 91%, including:
- Reduced pain
- Increased mobility
- Faster return to activity
- No needles. No downtime. Just real results.
Is It Right for You?
Shockwave therapy is ideal for stubborn, slow-healing injuries – especially those involving tendons, fascia, or chronic inflammation. If your pain has lingered despite rest or rehab, this may be the missing piece in your recovery.
Your Vital Touch physiotherapist will assess whether it’s appropriate for your condition and guide you through the process with clarity and care.
