ShockWave therapy : therapeutic benefits and treatment - PiedRéseau Aylmer
At PiedRéseau Aylmer, we offer ShockWave therapy as a key component of our sports podiatry services. Originally developed to break up kidney stones, this therapeutic technology has been adapted for treating various musculoskeletal injuries in the foot. By utilizing acoustic waves, ShockWave therapy promotes recovery from painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel spur. The therapy involves a specialized device that emits high-intensity pulses, targeting the affected tissue to stimulate healing through microtrauma, ultimately enhancing blood flow, collagen production, and mobility.
Opened in 2010, PiedRéseau Aylmer is committed to providing quality care to our patients in the Outaouais region. Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including ultrasound equipment and custom orthotics manufacturing. Our team is led by Dr. Antoun Hajj, who holds a Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine and specializes in biochemistry and neuroscience. Alongside him, we have Élie Bélanger and Jean Assaf, both qualified podiatrists dedicated to addressing a wide range of foot conditions. Together, we ensure a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan for each patient seeking relief from foot pain.
