We are happy to inform you about our new piece of equipment, the Swiss DolorClast®, that is a revolution for treating the acute and chronic tendinitis.
We are pleased to inform you that our medical centers are equipped with Swiss DolorClast® / Astar shock wave devices, which are revolutionary in the treatment of acute and chronic tendinitis. A team of about ten specialized physiotherapists handles these treatments within our HCMC medical centers.
Radial shock waves are high-pressure mechanical waves emitted by an electro-pneumatic system and transmitted through the skin to various pathological tissues.
The Swiss Dolorclast® helps alleviate pain while treating tendon injuries. These waves cause micro-injuries that contribute to reshaping and softening the damaged fibrous scar tissue. The body responds by increasing the metabolism of the application area, which stimulates the healing process. This technique allows for the resorption of calcifications and a reduction in pain sensitivity.
Indications for Radial Shock Waves include:
- Tendinopathies (calcifying or non-calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder, epicondylitis or tennis elbow, epitrochleitis or golf elbow, Achilles tendonitis, insertional tendinopathies, patellar tendinitis, gluteus medius tendinitis)
- Calcifications
- Plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis
- Periostitis
- Trochanteric bursitis
- Acupuncture points
- Sequelae of muscle injuries (strain, tear)
- Trigger Points (contractures)
