Don Mills Health Care offers a new,state-of-the-art, medical solution to chronic, unrelenting pain. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is a new technology that uses shockwaves to treat chronic, painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system. A shockwave is an intense, but very short energy wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. This type of therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving attachment points for tendons and ligaments in major joints like the shoulder (such as the rotator cuff), elbow (epicondylitis or tennis elbow), hip, and knee (tendinitis or "jumper's knee) are common sites for Shock Wave Therapy. Another common area treated with SWT is the foot. Some conditions in the foot treated with SWT include:

- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendinitis
- Clacific Tendinitis
- Muscle Pain and Injuries
- Connective Tissue Pain and degeneration
- Morton’s Neuroma
- Stress Fracture
- Joint Injuries
