Shockwave Therapy in Duncan, BC
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to help manage chronic tendon injuries, soft tissue pain, and musculoskeletal conditions that may not have responded fully to conservative treatment approaches alone.
The treatment uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing responses within affected tissues and support recovery in areas experiencing chronic irritation, degeneration, or dysfunction.
At Start Line Health, shockwave therapy is integrated into broader rehabilitation and orthopedic care plans designed to improve movement, reduce pain, and support long-term recovery.

How Shockwave Therapy Works
Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic energy delivered to affected tissues through a handheld treatment device.
The goal of treatment is to stimulate healing activity within damaged or irritated tissue while helping reduce pain and improve movement.
Treatment begins with an assessment to determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition and symptoms.
Depending on the condition being treated, shockwave therapy may also be combined with physiotherapy, rehabilitation, mobility work, or strength-based recovery programs.
