Radial Shockwave
Are you searching for an affordable Radial Shockwave Institute in Edmonton or St. Albert. Leading Edge Physiotherapy is proud to be certified providers of Radial Shockwave in St. Albert and Edmonton.
At Leading Edge Physiotherapy we offer the Swiss DolorClast® Master, a state-of-the-art technology that delivers a pneumatically generated high pressure sound wave that travels through the skin and into inflamed tissues and bone.
How Does Radial Shockwave Work?
Radial shockwave is an acoustic pulse that is pneumatically generated. It causes the body to respond with increased metabolic activity around the site of pain. This increases the circulation and begins the healing process. The waves locally alter the chemical environment, stimulate the re-absorption of irritating calcium deposits and induce an analgesic effect. It takes 3 treatments completed one week apart with follow up appointments 4-12 weeks after the completion of those treatments.
Ultimately the shockwaves start the healing process over again…
Results in as few as 3 treatments:
Most patients feel significant results after the first treatment, however some do not notice until completion of the third. The key healing phase (fibroplasia) is complete after 6 to 8 weeks and by 3 months most patients have maximum relief.

People that have chronic problems like these often ask us:
1. Why doesn’t my tendon injury go away on its own?
2. What is Scar Tissue?
3. How do I know if Radial Shockwave is right for me?
As your injury will be assessed by a registered physical therapist and as the Radial Shockwave is performed by a physical therapist at our facility, the procedure is considered physical therapy and should therefore be covered by third party physical therapy insurance coverage.
