Village Physiotherapy in Edgemont Village, North Vancouver, proudly offers the Swiss DolorClast® Radial Shockwave Therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment recognized worldwide for its effectiveness in addressing persistent musculoskeletal pain. The Swiss DolorClast® delivers high-energy acoustic waves that stimulate circulation, support tissue healing, support collagen regeneration, and reduce pain. Shockwave therapy is a proven treatment option for chronic tendon pain and muscle injuries.
As one of the few physiotherapy clinics in the Lower Mainland equipped with this gold-standard shockwave technology, we provide evidence-informed care for conditions such as:
•Plantar fasciitis • Calcific shoulder tendinopathy • Chronic tendon pain • Achilles tendinopathy • Muscle Shortening/Tightness
What to Expect: Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes, with 3–5 treatments recommended depending on the condition. Many patients feel brief pulses against the skin during therapy, which can be adjusted for comfort. This advanced therapy is often integrated into personalized plans, and many patients notice reduced pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions. Patients can book a session with one of our physiotherapists or chiropractors.
