Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to help with stubborn tendon, muscle, and soft-tissue pain.
At iGood Health Centre in Richmond Hill, shockwave therapy may be recommended for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, calcific shoulder pain, Achilles tendinopathy, and other persistent musculoskeletal complaints that have not improved enough with rest, exercise, or other conservative care.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for certain chronic tendon and soft-tissue conditions, especially when symptoms have lasted for weeks or months.
Shockwave therapy may be considered for selected musculoskeletal and soft tissue conditions, especially chronic tendon-related pain and localized tissue irritation. Common examples may include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, jumper’s knee, and other tendon or soft tissue concerns after assessment.
Shockwave therapy is not suitable for every type of pain. Your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, and contraindications before recommending treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis and heel pain. Shockwave therapy may help reduce pain and support recovery in persistent plantar fasciitis and some cases of heel pain.
Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow. For chronic elbow tendon pain, shockwave therapy may be used to stimulate tissue healing and improve function.
Shoulder Tendinopathy and Calcific Tendinitis. Shockwave therapy is often considered for selected shoulder tendon problems, especially when pain is limiting sleep, reaching, or overhead activity.
Back pain may arise from spinal joints, discs, or muscle strain related to posture and daily load. Assessment focuses on improving movement and reducing mechanical irritation.
Knee discomfort can be influenced by joint irritation, muscle imbalance, or altered walking mechanics. Treatment emphasizes stability, alignment, and better load distribution through the leg.
Foot and ankle problems may result from overuse, instability, or biomechanical stress. Care targets improved support, mobility, and efficient movement patterns.
Wrist and hand symptoms may stem from nerve irritation or repetitive use patterns. Treatment aims to improve alignment and movement efficiency.
Sciatica often involves pain traveling from the lower back into the glute and down the leg. Evaluation helps determine the source of nerve sensitivity and appropriate care options.

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate tissue repair, reduce pain, and promote healing in musculoskeletal conditions. It improves blood circulation and breaks down scar tissue, helping the body heal faster.
Shockwave Therapy is effective in treating conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendonitis, tennis elbow, and chronic back pain. It is also beneficial for sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions.
While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, it is generally well-tolerated. The intensity can be adjusted to suit your pain tolerance, and the treatment is non-invasive, meaning no surgery or needles are involved.
The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your condition. Most patients experience significant improvement after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about one week apart.
Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or slight discomfort in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours or days after the treatment.
Shockwave Therapy is suitable for people suffering from chronic pain, sports injuries, or conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as those with blood clotting disorders or pacemakers.
