Without any doubt, in a class of its own! Since
1999, the Swiss DolorClast® has been setting new standards in
orthopaedic shockwave therapy (ESWT). The world market leader,
with over 2000 devices in use worldwide. The system, specially
designed for orthopaedic use, offers everything you need for
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). This new method with
the Swiss DolorClast®, has changed orthopaedic pain therapy: The
device is small, handy and mobile. It ensures a gentle and
efficient treatment with pneumatically generated shockwaves, which
are transmitted into the area of pain. Impulse frequencies can be
freely selected, allowing the duration of treatment to be kept as
short as possible: A treatment with 2,000 impulses only takes
about five to ten minutes. Installation is immediate. All you need
is a normal electrical outlet, then: Plug and treat! |

Orthopaedics Pain
Therapy method Swiss DolorClast®
Shockwave
therapy was first developed for
treatment of urinary stones. It has also
been proven to be very effective for
orthopaedic problems. In 1991,
extracorporeal shockwave therapy was
successfully used for the treatment of
pseudarthroses. Some years later, very
good results were achieved when treating
other orthopaedic problems. Radial
Shockwaves were developed in 1997.
Via a
freely moving applicator, pneumatically
generated shockwaves are radially and
extensively transmitted into the site of
pain. At the beginning, the devices used
in urology were also used in orthopaedic
medicine. Later on, these devices were
modified and improved, thus making the
easy transition to use in orthopaedics.
Nowadays, mobile and efficient devices
are replacing the elder, bigger devices
more and more. Tennis elbow, calcific
tendinosis of the shoulder or heel spur?
Radial Shockwave Therapy can be a
glimmer of hope for those patients
suffering from chronic pain due to their
hobby, their work or of age. Very often,
chronic pain means the end to any kind
of sports activity or limitations in
daily work. Pain therapy with Radial
Shockwaves is gentle, effective and
fast. It is carrried out by general
practitioners, orthopaedists and sports
physiotherapists, almost without
anaesthetic and without side-effects.
