Shockwave Therapy
EMS Dolocast

Our Clinic offers Shockwave Therapy using state of the art EMS Swiss Dolocast Radial Shockwave for a variety of health benefits as well as injury recovery treatement. ​Shockwave Therapy involves the delivery of high-frequency shock waves to injured tendons, tight myofascia, soft tissues and bone interfaces to stimulate the body's natural state of healing. It can be an extremely effective useful treatment for chronic tendon conditions that have not responded well enough to conservative and medical treatments.

Shockwave Therapy: What to Expect

Shockwave therapy typically involves 3–6 sessions, scheduled at weekly intervals. During treatment, a handheld probe is placed over the injured tendon or affected area, delivering shockwaves to stimulate tissue healing. Treatment time varies depending on the number of areas being treated, with each region taking approximately 5–10 minutes. Patients will require an initial physiotherapy assessment to determine the areas and timing for treatment. There are almost no side effects to Shockwave. Many patients find they experience mild pain or discomfort during treatment usually subsides quickly after treatment. It is advisable to avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours after treatment.

Shockwave treatment is claimable using your private health fund if prescribed by your physiotherapist or medical practitioner.
