Focused Shockwave Therapy

“Today I had an initial acupuncture appointment with Debra. She was great. Debra also did cupping on my back and this wasn’t cupping I’ve been accustomed to. Typically, I had it where the cup is placed on an area for a period of time then pulled off, however, Debra was moving the cup all over my back and then left a bunch on while she worked the other side. I haven’t felt this loose and good for a long time. I’ll be scheduling another acupuncture and cupping session in the future fur sure. If you have Instagram, check out their page and watch the video that says, “Spring Cleaning” on it. Their page is vernon_active_health . 🙂 Highly recommend and the staff are great!”

“Riley and his team have changed my life for the better and I can’t thank them enough. Truly the best place in the Okanagan to receive physical therapy.”
Frequently Asked Focused Shockwave Therapy Questions
Focused Shockwave Therapy penetrates deeper and is more site specific than traditional Radial Shockwave. It stimulates new blood flow to chronically injured tendons, ligaments, muscle and bone which promotes accelerated healing and pain reduction.
The number of sessions required may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and your individual response to the therapy. Typically, a series of sessions spaced out over several weeks is recommended for optimal results.
During the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure in the treated area. However, the therapy is generally well-tolerated, and the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to your comfort level.
The high-energy acoustic waves produced during the therapy stimulate tissue repair and promote increased blood flow to the affected area. This helps to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall healing of the damaged tissue.
