SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
(EMS DOLORCAST)
EMS DOLORCAST RADIAL SHOCKWAVE
bounceREHAB Principal Physiotherapist & Founder (2005-current), Matthew Craig, offers Shockwave Therapy using state of the art EMS Swiss Dolocast Radial Shockwave for many health benefits. See our blog for further information.
Shockwave Therapy involves the delivery of high-frequency shock waves to injured tendons, tight myofacia, 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. What is Shockwave Therapy?
Typical treatment involves 3-6 sessions at weekly intervals. The probe is placed over the injured tendon (or area) and shock waves are generated to stimulate tendon healing. Each treatment session duration depends on how many body parts are required to be treated. Each specific region takes approx 5 -10 minutes to conduct and is determined once an initial physiotherapy assessment (with Matthew) is performed.
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.
Prices are incremental with the desired duration from your presentation and may be claimable using your private health fund if prescribed by your physiotherapist or medical practitioner.
