Empowering Pain-Free Living, Men’s Health and Graceful Aging with Cutting-Edge Noninvasive Regenerative Technologies

In 2012, a small clinic nestled within The Derrick Golf and Winter Club introduced a groundbreaking therapy that would soon change the lives of countless individuals. Armed with a single Shockwave Therapy device, Unpain Clinic embarked on a journey to relieve those suffering from chronic pain in Edmonton. However, at that time, the concept of Shockwave Therapy was relatively unknown, and Unpain Clinic faced the challenge of enlightening the community about this innovative approach.

Fast forward to the present day, and the name Unpain Clinic resonates far beyond the borders of Edmonton. Through its pioneering use of Shockwave Therapy, Unpain Clinic has gained worldwide recognition for its effective chronic pain treatment. Unlike conventional methods that merely alleviate symptoms, Unpain Clinic’s approach focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying dysfunction responsible for the pain. Simultaneously, the therapy stimulates noninvasive tissue regeneration, leading to long-lasting relief.

People from across North America, grappling with chronic pain for months, even after exhausting various unsuccessful treatment options, find solace at Unpain Clinic. The clinic’s success story of performing more than 35000 treatments is a testament to the transformative power of Shockwave Therapy. By staying at the forefront of research and drawing inspiration from top European soccer teams, who have adopted Shockwave Therapy to optimize athlete performance, Unpain Clinic has developed protocols that treat, enhance and prevent injuries in golfers, pickleball players, and athletes from diverse disciplines.

In 2021, our sister company, I Love Shockwave reached new heights by creating the world’s most comprehensive virtual training platform for healthcare providers. This groundbreaking platform equips professionals with the knowledge and expertise to apply Shockwave Therapy effectively in musculoskeletal conditions, men’s health (ED), and aesthetic medicine for graceful aging. By sharing our expertise, Unpain Clinic aims to empower healthcare providers globally, ensuring that the benefits of Shockwave Therapy reach as many individuals as possible.

Unpain Clinic owes its success not only to its unwavering dedication but also to the support of our clients. From the beginning, our clients have championed Unpain Clinic’s mission, spreading the word about the clinic’s transformative treatments. Their advocacy has played a vital role in helping others overcome pain and reclaim their lives.

As Unpain Clinic continues to evolve, our commitment to providing effective, noninvasive, and innovative pain management, Men’s Pelvic Health and Graceful Aging remains unwavering. With a legacy built on healing, education, and community support, Unpain Clinic looks forward to a future where chronic pain becomes a thing of the past and individuals worldwide can embrace a life free from discomfort.

Pain is only
a symptom

Tissues can become painful in areas that are in no way related to the underlying cause of the problem. It is important to target the source of the condition as well as the symptoms. If only symptoms are treated, they will most likely return, for the very same reasons they occurred the first time. It is not unusual for a new shoulder problem to be the result of an old knee injury. Really!

Shockwave treatments at Unpain are seldom the same from patient to patient because the combination of individual bodies, behaviours and lifestyles are always unique. During the initial visit, your therapist will assess your pain while also looking for all potential causes. Treatment is provided on the first visit. In most cases, clients receive 3 treatments over 3 weeks, followed by a 6-week recovery period. Healing is still occurring during this time. If pain persists after 6 weeks, a 4th session may be required.

One of the greatest differentiators about our work is that Unpain Clinic clients truly get better. The majority don’t need to return for the same condition after their course of treatments is complete. It’s referrals from delighted clients and not ongoing treatments that make us successful!
