Conditions Treated with Iontophoresis & Phonophoresis

Compounded gels and solutions delivered via iontophoresis or phonophoresis can treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions — improving drug penetration by 20–60× compared to standard topicals.

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

Compounded anti-inflammatory and analgesic gels delivered via iontophoresis target heel pain at the source — reducing inflammation in the plantar fascia without the systemic side effects of oral medications.

We compound ionized drug formulations including corticosteroids, antibiotics, antivirals, anaesthetics and more — tailored to your physician's treatment plan.

Understanding Iontophoresis & Phonophoresis

Both techniques deliver compounded medication directly through the skin without needles or oral drugs. Iontophoresis uses a low-level electric current to drive ionic medications through the skin — improving absorption 20 to 60× compared to standard topical application. Phonophoresis (also known as sonophoresis) uses ultrasound waves to enhance penetration of medicated gels and creams.

Common Conditions We Help Treat

Our compounded formulations are used by physiotherapists, podiatrists, and physicians to manage:

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain: Inflammation of the plantar fascia and bone-spur related pain.

Tendonitis & Bursitis: Including shoulder, elbow, and Achilles tendon inflammation.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A safer alternative to steroid injections for many patients.

TMJ Disorders: Targeted relief for jaw dysfunction and chronic pain.

Arthritis & Joint Pain: Including rheumatoid arthritis and localized inflammation.

Post-Surgical Scars: Adhesion management and scar-tissue softening compounds.

Sports Injuries: Ligament sprains, muscle strain, and rehabilitation therapy.

Sensitive Patients: Localized anaesthesia for children and needle-averse patients.

All compounds are prepared at our pharmacy under Health Canada guidelines, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade safety and purity.
