What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses a clinically-proven device to deliver shockwaves from compressed air with a moving projectile within the applicator to stimulate metabolic reactions within your tissues. Shockwave has also been well-researched to reduce pain felt by nerve fibers, increase blood circulation in the surrounding tissues and activate cells for the body’s healing process.
Who Benefits from Shockwave Therapy?
Some conditions are resistant to traditional therapies in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Shockwave therapy is beneficial in helping patients, both athletes and non-athletes, with a range of these conditions, including:
- Chronic tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
- Tendinopathy in the shoulder
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints
Chronic tendinopathy, in particular, with its localized pain and detriment to tendons, is often difficult to correct with traditional methods. However, research has found that shockwave therapy may be helpful if a patient’s chronic tendinopathy doesn’t respond to typical therapies.
We will assess your condition to determine whether shockwave therapy is beneficial for you and then set up a protocol to fit your needs.

TESTIMONIALS

I had a back issue out of the blue one day. I setup an appt with Dr. Rich, he was absolutely amazing. I was so glad to have met him. Not only did my pain disappear after the 1st session, I also learned so much from him. He is so patient, so caring and just by speaking to him half the pain goes away. He loves what he does and it just shows. This was my 1st ever appt with a chiropractor and I am very impressed.
Thank you so much doc, very grateful for your service. -
My husband and I are patients of Dr. Richard Raigoza since 2020. He treated multiple issues that I had – neck, jaw, back pain. I have migraines and headaches, it happened many times that I came for a session with the pain and it was gone after the treatment. I also visited Dr. Richard during all the time of my pregnancy, I don’t know how my back would have survived without his help. Robyn (massages therapist) is amazing too – such a great relief if you have any pain or stiffness.

Ottawans are privileged to have Dr. Richar Raigoza establish his multi-disciplinary clinic in this city. He brings a progressive approach that has been missing in my healthcare journey. He gave me tools so that I can be an active partner in my own healing. I experienced results quickly. My body is no longer a mystery. I can continue to carry on being my boldest self in life. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do. We are all peak performers in life. If you have the desire to live life optimally, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Richar Raigoza and the team at Ottawa Health Performance and Rehabilitation.

I’ve been to a lot of physio clinics for various injuries, chiropractic services as well. Dr. Rad is hands down, the best I have worked with. Extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and genuine. Takes time to explain the risks, benefits of her treatment. You’re in good hands with her and her team.
