Muscle and joint pain can affect work, exercise, sleep, and daily movement. Some people experience pain after physical activity, while others notice stiffness from repetitive tasks or long hours at work. When discomfort continues for weeks or months, many people start searching for treatment options that support movement and tissue recovery.
At The Port Physiotherapy in Calgary, many clients visit a Shockwave Therapy clinic to address ongoing muscle and tendon problems that limit daily activities. Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to target injured tissue and support circulation in affected areas.
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves that travel through injured tissues. Physiotherapists apply the treatment directly to the painful area using a handheld device. The treatment focuses on tissues that may have reduced circulation, scar tissue buildup, or long-standing irritation.
