Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Non-invasive, fast-acting relief for chronic pain, tendon injuries, and stubborn musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave Therapy—also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)—uses high-energy acoustic pulses to stimulate healing in injured tissue. It is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for chronic tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and muscle tension. At The Upper Room Clinic, we offer shockwave therapy at both our Toronto and Oakville locations, using medical-grade devices that deliver deep tissue stimulation with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

‍

Shockwave Therapy works by delivering acoustic sound waves into injured tissue, where it:

Breaks up scar tissue and adhesions
Improves blood flow to poorly vascularized areas
Stimulates collagen production
Reduces local inflammation
Activates natural healing pathways

These acoustic pulses reach deeper tissue layers than manual therapy or massage, making shockwave an excellent option for chronic injuries that haven’t responded to physiotherapy, stretching, or rest.

Shockwave promotes fast, measurable improvements in mobility, circulation, and pain.

The Benefits

Shockwave Therapy provides immediate and long-term benefits, especially for chronic or stubborn pain:

Reduces acute and chronic pain
Increases blood flow and circulation
Breaks down calcifications (e.g., in the shoulder)
Stimulates collagen and tissue repair
Improves tendon and ligament strength
Releases tight muscle bands
Accelerates healing without surgery or injections
Minimal discomfort and no downtime

Many patients report meaningful improvement within 1–3 sessions, with full results developing over several weeks as tissue heals.

Conditions Can Help With

Shockwave is highly effective for conditions that have not improved with rest, physio, chiropractic care, or medication. We most commonly treat:

Foot & Ankle

Plantar fasciitis
Heel spurs
Achilles tendinopathy
Peroneal tendon injuries

Knee & Hip

Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
IT band syndrome
Hip flexor or gluteus medius tendinopathy

Shoulder & Elbow

Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Calcific tendonitis
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow

Neck & Back

Myofascial pain
Trigger points
SI joint tightness
Chronic muscular tension
Shockwave is ideal for injuries that are chronic, overused, or slow to heal.

What to Expect

Schedule & Share

Appointment

Plan

Treatment

Schedule an Injection Therapy Consultation.

You begin with a consultation at our Toronto or Oakville clinic to assess your injury, medical history, and treatment goals.Your clinician identifies the exact source of pain using orthopedic assessment, palpation, and movement testing.

We develop your personalized treatment plan, including the number of sessions and any supportive therapies (e.g., PRP, Prolozone, physiotherapy exercises).

Shockwave is applied to the injured area using a handheld device. Each session lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

During Treatment

Most patients feel a pulsing, tapping sensation—comfortable for some, mildly intense for others. Tenderness is normal and typically decreases as the tissue responds. After treatment, you may feel temporary soreness or warmth, which typically resolves within 24 hours. You can walk, work, and exercise lightly the same day. Most patients need 3–6 sessions, spaced weekly, depending on severity and chronicity. Relief is felt immediately after the session.
