SHOCKWAVE THERAPY • CHRONIC PAIN • ACCELERATE RECOVERY
Shockwave Therapy
in Port Perry
Accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore movement with evidence-based shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon, muscle, and joint conditions.
Helping Your Body Heal
At Port Perry Chiropractic, shockwave therapy is integrated with a comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation plan. Rather than simply treating painful tissues, we identify why the injury developed and combine shockwave therapy with rehabilitation to create lasting results.
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. It’s an evidence-based treatment commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, heel pain, calcific shoulder pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before booking?
Does shockwave therapy hurt?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, particularly over sensitive tissue. The intensity is adjusted to your comfort level and treatments are typically well tolerated.
How many treatments will I need?
Many conditions improve with a series of 4–8 treatments, although this depends on the condition, its duration, and your response to treatment.
How quickly will I notice results?
Some patients notice improvement within a few days, while others experience gradual improvement over several weeks as healing progresses.
Is shockwave therapy safe?
Yes. Shockwave therapy is supported by extensive research and is considered a safe treatment when used appropriately.
Why isn’t shockwave working after one treatment?
Shockwave stimulates your body’s healing response rather than masking pain. Most conditions improve over several treatments combined with rehabilitation exercises.
What conditions respond best to shockwave therapy?
It is most commonly used for chronic tendon conditions, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder tendinopathy, and persistent soft tissue injuries.
Can I exercise after treatment?
Most patients can continue with modified activity. We’ll provide specific recommendations based on your condition and stage of recovery.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. We’ll be happy to discuss your options before beginning treatment.
