Swiss Dolorclast Shockwave Therapy
Sydney Sports Podiatry utilises the Swiss Dolorclast Shockwave Therapy System, a widely recognised technology in the field of sports medicine.
Shockwave therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) is a non-invasive clinical option designed to support the body’s natural repair response. It is typically utilised for chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, as well as patellar, Achilles, or hamstring tendinopathy. This modern therapy is supported by various peer-reviewed studies worldwide.
ESWT utilises radial pressure wave technology to create a localised environment that assists in stimulating metabolic activity in injured or degenerated tissue.
NOTE: Available at our Sydney CBD and West Pymble locations only.
Clinical Applications of Shockwave Therapy
At Sydney Sports Podiatry, we follow the Swiss Dolorclast Method. Clinical application involves the delivery of acoustic shockwaves to the affected area via a handheld applicator. Many patients find this therapy to be an integrated part of their broader recovery plan.
Our experienced podiatrists utilise this technology to assist in the management of:
- Achilles Tendinopathy: Managing persistent pain in the Achilles tendon.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Management of chronic heel and arch discomfort.
- Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints): Supporting recovery from lower leg stress.
- Patellar Tendinopathy (Patella Tip Syndrome): Focused management for “Jumper’s Knee.”
- Hamstring and Gluteal Tendinopathy: Managing soft tissue concerns around the hip and thigh.
- Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: Supporting comfort in the lateral hip region.
- ITB (Iliotibial Band) Concerns: Managing tension along the outer thigh and knee.
