The term shockwave refers to pneumatically generated pressure pulses that expand as a wave in the body. These break down scar tissue and calcifications, stimulating metabolism, enhancing blood circulation, and enabling damaged tissue to regenerate. At the Osteopathic Clinic of Physical Medicine, we use the Swiss DolorClast, which is also used in professional sports to treat and manage injuries. The device was used by athletes at the recent Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
A minimum of three sessions is required over a three-week period, combined with a series of exercises. Shockwave Therapy has proved successful in the treatment of daily life injuries and in international sports medicine.*
