What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a scientifically backed, non-surgical treatment that delivers high-energy sound waves (radial pressure waves) to injured or painful areas of the body. These waves stimulate blood flow, break down scar tissue, and promote natural healing.

  • It is widely used by physiotherapists and sports medicine professionals worldwide for treating conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments.

Why Choose EMS Radial Shockwave Therapy?

We’ve invested in the EMS Swiss DolorClast® Radial Shockwave machine — the gold standard in shockwave technology. Backed by research and trusted by professionals worldwide, this device allows for:
  • Precise and comfortable application
  • Clinically proven outcomes
  • Shorter treatment times with faster results
  • Fewer sessions required

What to Expect During a Session: FAQ's

How long does the treatment session take?
Each shockwave therapy session typically lasts 10–15 minutes. A gel is applied to the skin, and the handheld applicator delivers targeted sound waves to the affected area.

A typical treatment plan involves 4–6 sessions spaced 5-7 days a part.

Most people experience a noticeable reduction in pain after just 1–2 sessions. However, research shows us the effects will continue to work in the body up to 12 weeks after you finish treatment. Meaning, you may experience gradual improvements over 3 months.
