Shockwave Therapy for Heel, Shoulder & Elbow Pain: Evidence-Based Care in Mississauga

September 19, 2025

Living with pain that never seems to go away can be exhausting. Whether it’s heel pain that greets you in the morning, shoulder stiffness that limits your reach, or elbow discomfort that flares with every movement, persistent pain can take a serious toll on your daily life.


At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab in Mississauga, we understand how frustrating chronic pain can be. That’s why we’re proud to offer Shockwave Therapy—a safe, non-invasive, and scientifically supported treatment designed to help your body heal naturally.


What is Shockwave Therapy and How Does It Work?


Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy – ESWT) is an advanced treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target damaged tissues in the body. These waves are delivered through a handheld device placed directly on the skin.


Here’s what makes it effective:


  • Stimulates blood flow – Improving circulation to injured tissues for faster recovery
  • Breaks down scar tissue and calcium deposits – Which often cause stiffness and pain
  • Boosts collagen production – Essential for tendon and ligament repair
  • Resets nerve activity – Reducing pain signals to the brain.


This combination of effects is why Shockwave Therapy in Mississauga has become a leading treatment for stubborn musculoskeletal conditions.


We proudly serve the community through two convenient locations:


  • Delta Physiotherapy Central Parkway – on Central Parkway, close to Square One Mississauga
  • Delta Physiotherapy Erin Mills – in the Dundas & Erin Mills area of Mississauga.


Conditions Commonly Treated with Shockwave Therapy


Shockwave Therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution—it’s most effective for specific diagnoses, especially those that haven’t improved with other treatments.


Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs

  • One of the most researched uses of Shockwave Therapy
  • Clinical studies show up to 80% success rate in reducing chronic heel pain.


Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow

  • Helps with overuse injuries by reducing inflammation and improving grip strength
  • A great option for patients who type, lift, or play racquet sports.


Shoulder Pain (Rotator Cuff & Calcific Tendonitis)

  • Dissolves calcium deposits in tendons
  • Restores mobility and reduces stiffness.


Achilles Tendonitis

  • Relieves stiffness in the Achilles tendon
  • Encourages proper healing and mobility.


Hip Pain (Trochanteric Bursitis & Gluteal Tendon Issues)

  • Targets stubborn hip pain that limits walking and sleeping positions.


Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper’s Knee)

  • Common in athletes, Shockwave Therapy reduces pain and restores function.
