Shockwave Therapy in Etobicoke: Does It Really Work for Chronic Pain?

For patients struggling with stubborn injuries that don’t respond to traditional therapy, shockwave treatment is becoming a popular option. But does it really work?

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in injured tissues. It’s especially effective for conditions caused by overuse and chronic strain.

Conditions It Treats

• Plantar Fasciitis: Heel pain from inflamed foot tissue.
• Tennis Elbow & Shoulder Pain: Repetitive strain injuries.
• Chronic Tendon Injuries: Such as Achilles tendinopathy.

How the Treatment Works

The sound waves increase blood flow and break down scar tissue, allowing the body to heal naturally. Many patients report pain reduction after just a few sessions.

What to Expect During a Session

Sessions are short — usually 10–15 minutes — and most patients need 3–6 treatments. You may feel mild discomfort during the procedure, but no downtime is required.

Is Shockwave Right for You?

If you’ve tried rest, medication, or standard physiotherapy without results, shockwave therapy could be the next step.
