Shockwave Therapy for Tendon & Soft Tissue Pain

Our Approach

Shockwave therapy can be a helpful tool for stubborn tendon and soft tissue problems, especially when pain has not responded well to rest, stretching, massage, or basic exercise.

At Ground Up Chiropractic & Rehab, we use shockwave as part of a bigger plan. We assess what is driving the pain, apply shockwave where appropriate, and pair it with progressive loading so the tissue can build tolerance again.

Common areas we treat include the foot, Achilles, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, calf, and other chronic soft tissue complaints.

We direct bill most major insurance providers, making it simple to use your chiropractic benefits toward care at our Hamilton clinic.

Conditions Treated

Shockwave therapy may be a good fit for:

Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy
Gluteal tendinopathy
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Chronic calf, hamstring, and soft tissue tightness
Stubborn muscle pain that has not responded to massage or stretching
Chronic overuse injuries

We assess whether shockwave is the right tool before adding it to your plan. If it is not the right fit, we will tell you.

Our Process

Book Your First Visit

Book online and come straight in. We direct bill most major insurance providers, and your first visit includes an assessment to confirm whether shockwave is appropriate for your condition.

Targeted Shockwave Treatment

If shockwave is appropriate, we apply it to the right area at the right intensity. Sessions are short, focused, and combined with hands-on care when needed.

Rehab to Build Tolerance

Shockwave is paired with progressive loading and rehab exercises so the tissue can build strength, tolerance, and confidence again.

Progress Your Plan

As symptoms improve, we progress your exercises so you can return to walking, training, lifting, work, or daily life with less pain and more confidence.
