We are getting tremendous results with the addition of ECSW "Shock Wave" treatment in the clinic. Please ask us at your next visit for more information and to see if ECSW "Shock Wave" may be a good application for you.
EMS Dolorclast Radial Shock Waves | Healing Treatment
DolorClast ECSW refers to the Swiss DolorClast Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), a non-invasive treatment from EMS SA, using ballistic shockwaves (radial or focused) to treat musculoskeletal pain and injuries like plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and osteoarthritis by stimulating natural healing. It's a popular, medication-free option that involves delivering acoustic waves to target areas, often requiring 3-5 sessions, and can be combined with other therapies.
How it Works
Mechanism: A projectile in the device's handpiece strikes an applicator, generating kinetic energy converted into shockwaves that travel into the body.
Types:
Radial: Uses ballistic principle, good for diffuse pain (e.g., muscle aches).
Focused (FSWT): Delivers higher energy to deep, precise targets (e.g., plantar fasciopathy).
Effect: Triggers the body's healing response, reducing pain and inflammation.
Common Uses (Indications)
Plantar fasciitis
Knee osteoarthritis
Tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles)
Calcifications
Muscle aches
Treatment Process
Sessions: Typically 3 to 5 sessions, once or twice a week, with 72 hours between sessions.
Sensation: Patients may feel discomfort as energy is delivered, which indicates treatment is working.
Integration: Often part of Guided DolorClast Therapy (GDT) (GDT) and can be combined with other therapies like high-power laser.
