In recent years, the shockwave therapy machine has revolutionized the way clinicians approach therapy shockwave treatment for chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. Known for its non-invasive nature and scientifically-backed results, this therapy has become a standard tool in top-tier rehabilitation clinics across Canada, including right here at Activ Axion Clinic in Montreal.
From elite athletes to everyday patients suffering from joint pain, tendinopathy, or plantar fasciitis, this technology offers a fast-tracked road to recovery—without the need for surgery or long-term medications.
What is a Shockwave Therapy Machine?
A shockwave therapy machine is a medical device that generates acoustic energy pulses targeted at damaged tissues in the body. These high-energy waves stimulate cell regeneration, increase blood flow, and break down fibrous scar tissue.
These machines are a key part of modern physiotherapy shockwave treatment and are approved for use in Canada. At ActivAxion Clinic, we use Swiss-made technology proven for its reliability, safety, and results.
“Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been shown to enhance neovascularization, accelerate tissue regeneration, and reduce pain.”
How Manual Therapy/Athletic Therapy Shockwave Treatment Works
Athletic Therapy shockwave treatment works by delivering focused sound waves to a specific area of the body. These waves trigger your body’s natural healing response, breaking the pain cycle and repairing damaged tissue.
The treatment is performed in-clinic at Activ Axion in under 30 minutes, and most patients see improvement within just 3–5 sessions.

The Science Behind Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy Science is backed by decades of research. The treatment uses mechanical pressure waves to induce a healing cascade. This biological response includes:
- Increased vascular growth: More blood = more nutrients = faster healing.
- Cell proliferation: Activation of collagen and stem cells.
- Neural pain suppression: Reducing nerve inflammation and pain signals.
“Shockwave therapy significantly improves pain and function in chronic tendinopathies.”
These studies form the foundation of Shockwave Therapy Science, providing solid EEAT (Expertise, Experience, Authority, and Trust) support for this innovative treatment.
Applications of Shockwave Therapy in Athletic Therapy
Whether it’s acute sports injuries or long-term tendon problems, physiotherapy shockwave has proven effective in treating:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Tennis elbow
- Calcific shoulder tendinitis
- IT band syndrome
- Trigger points
At ActivAxion Clinic, we personalize each treatment based on your injury and health goals.

FAQs About Shockwave Therapy Machine
What is medical shockwave?
Medical shockwave refers to high-energy acoustic waves used in clinical settings to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. It’s non-invasive and widely used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physiotherapy. In Canada, it’s a recognized and regulated treatment.
Best shockwave therapy machine for home use?
While consumer-grade devices exist, they often lack the intensity and safety controls of clinic-grade models. For effective physiotherapy shockwave treatment, it’s best to visit a certified provider like ActivAxion Clinic.
Is shock therapy legal in Canada?
Yes, shockwave therapy is legal in Canada and regulated for clinical use. Devices must be Health Canada-approved, and therapists require specialized training to operate them safely and effectively.
Is shockwave safe?
Yes, shockwave therapy is considered very safe. It is non-invasive, has minimal side effects (minor soreness or redness), and is backed by Shockwave Therapy Science and global medical research.
Shockwave training Canada?
Many physiotherapists in Canada undergo certification in shockwave technology through courses approved by professional colleges. At ActivAxion, our team is fully trained and certified in physiotherapy shockwave.
What is shock wave therapy in physiotherapy?
Shock wave therapy in physiotherapy uses focused acoustic energy to treat chronic inflammation, reduce pain, and stimulate tissue repair—ideal for joint and tendon recovery.
Is shockwave therapy something I could do myself?
No. Shockwave therapy requires precision, clinical-grade machines, and medical oversight. DIY attempts with inferior devices can lead to injury. Always go with trained providers like ActivAxion Clinic.
