Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that is scientifically proven to provide safe and highly effective treatment to specific conditions. It involves the application of high energy acoustic waves to targeted areas of the body, which helps stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration. Our clinic uses the Swiss Dolorclast machine which research has shown to deliver more energy density that competing devices and can be effective in as little as 1-3 treatments.
ESWT is commonly used to effectively treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tennis/golfers elbow, rotator cuff tendinopathies, Achilles tendonosis, patellar tendinopathies, calcific shoulder, and other soft tissue injuries. The therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for patients seeking alternative options to surgery or medication.
