What is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?
ESWT is a fast and gentle non-surgical method of reducing heel pain. It is derived from lithotripsy, a technique used today to disintegrate kidney stones without the use of invasive surgery. The EMS Swiss DolorClast device delivers pneumatically-generated high pressure shock waves that travel through the skin. Inflamed soft tissue and bone calcifications that receive these high energy pulses will heal stronger without any harm to the surrounding tissue. Electricity is not sent into the body. High energy pulsations of ultrasonic waves stimulate the body s natural self-healing process.
