Shockwave Therapy in Fergus, Ontario
Whether it’s tennis elbow that flares every time you pick up your coffee, an Achilles that complains on every run or a shoulder that hasn’t been right since you hung the Christmas lights, shockwave therapy can help get things moving again.
A non-surgical option for stubborn injuries
Some injuries heal on their own in a few weeks. Others hang on for months, no matter how much you rest, ice or stretch. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends acoustic waves through the skin to the injured area, stimulating your body’s natural healing response in soft tissue, muscles and tendons. There’s no surgery, no needles and no downtime, so most people head straight back to their day afterward.
And because shockwave therapy at Shift is part of a team that includes chiropractors and massage therapists, your treatment can be paired with the hands-on care your injury needs, all under one roof in the Fergus Marketplace Building.

Care for new injuries and old ones
-
Treatment is quick and done right in the clinic. Your practitioner uses a handheld applicator over the area that’s bothering you, and you’ll feel a strong tapping sensation as the waves do their work. Most people need a short series of sessions, and we’ll map out a plan with you at your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.
-
Shockwave therapy is used for a wide range of soft tissue, muscle and tendon injuries, including plantar fasciitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, carpal tunnel and ongoing back and neck pain. If you’re not sure whether your injury is a good candidate, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
-
Getting back to your sport is about more than healing the injury you have. We look at how your muscles, joints and nervous system work together as a whole, then build a plan to rehab the injury, prevent the next one and improve your balance, flexibility and strength so you can perform at your best. Weekend warriors and competitive athletes are both welcome!
-
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) applies red or near-infrared light to the injured area to support tissue healing, reduce inflammation and help relieve both new and long-standing pain. It’s often used for joint pain, inflammatory conditions and tissue repair.
