EMS swiss Dolorclast shockwaves treatment is a highly rated form of treatment and rehabilitation and has been used to successfully treat professional athletes across the world including the Liverpool football team.

Shockwaves is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon. This increases the blood flow within the affected area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing, and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.

How swiss Dolorclast method acts on the musculoskeletal system

Immediate and lasting pain relief

nerves – blockage of neurogenic inflammation
tendons- improved movement of tendon
muscles- improved blood circulation
cartilage- decreased cartilage degradation and reduce progression in osteoarthritis
Bones – New bone remodeling thanks to increased microcracks/new bone formation

 Healing and lasting pain relief

Red chilli peppers contain capsaicin. At first this substance overwhelms the so-called C nerve fibres responsible for transmitting pain but then disables them for an extended period of time. Everybody knows the feeling – first the mouth is on fire then it feels completely numb. 

Research has indicated that shockwaves therapy works the same way. When activated the C nerve fibres release a specific substance (substance P) in the tissue as well as in the spinal cord. This substance is responsible for causing slight discomfort during and after shockwave treatment. However with prolonged activation, C nerve fibres become incapable for some time of releasing substance P and causing pain. Less substance P in the tissue leads to reduced pain, less substance P also causes so-called neurogenic inflammation to decline. 

A decline IN neurogenic inflammation may in turn foster healing-together with the release of growth factors and the activation of stem cells in the treated tissue.

What you can expect when you come in for a treatment

A through assessment will be carried out. It’s at this point we decided if shockwaves is the correct therapy for you. We usually mix our therapies,so the treatment is tailored to your needs. We’ve found over the years we always have a more positive outcome using this approach.
