This innovative therapy has proven effective for various conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonopathy
- Retrocalcaneal bursitis
- Lateral epicondylosis (tennis elbow)
- Medial epicondylosis (golfer’s elbow)
- Calcific tendonitis (supraspinatus tendon, etc.)

- Morton’s neuroma
- Chronic stress/non-union fractures
- Strained calves and hamstrings

Why Choose Custom Orthotics at Active Recovery Courtice?
SWT stimulates your body’s natural healing process, enhancing recovery and relieving pain. This treatment option has a direct effect on local nerve endings, resulting in decreased pain sensation.
Distinguishing Low Energy from High Energy Shockwave Therapy
High Energy SWT, also known as “true” shockwaves, are short-duration high-energy pulses that create shockwaves by breaking the sound barrier. This focused approach offers several benefits, including increased cell membrane permeability, which promotes healing and reduces calcific deposits.
Our high-energy shockwave technology stimulates osteoblasts and fibroblasts, crucial cells responsible for bone and connective tissue healing. This targeted approach effectively diminishes pain through hyperstimulation anesthesia and the gate-control mechanism.
On the other hand, Low Energy Shockwaves are generated by radial pressure waves, providing a slower, less intense treatment option. While low energy SWT offers advantages, such as reduced cost, it diverges from high-energy shockwaves in terms of speed, intensity, and energy application.
