Following a track & field injury in 1987, I suffered with chronic Achilles tendonosis for more than 30 years. In that time, I have tried a myriad of treatments, including ultrasound, massage, eccentric calf strengthening, active release, acupuncture, dry needling, and finally, a stem cell injection. I got some short-term relief here and there, but nothing worked in the long term. Finally, someone told me about shockwave therapy available at Divergent Health, and I decided to try it before going for a follow-up stem cell injection. I have had nine treatments of a 10-treatment protocol, and I can honestly say that my Achilles has never felt better since my original injury. Whether or not my healed tendon will stand up to the rigorous sprint training I want to do remains to be seen, but I am extremely optimistic.

Not only am I happy with my results so far, I cannot shower enough praise on the care and attention the staff at Divergent give to their patients. These people are genuinely concerned about their patients, and go above and beyond to ensure they receive the best treatment and best outcomes possible. Both Dr. Jason Nanda and his associate, Paul, did everything they could to make my experience a positive one, and to make sure that I got the maximum benefits possible from my treatments. This amazing human touch and authentic accountability is something I have rarely seen in the Canadian health care system. Double thumbs up!!
