One Method,
Many Indications
The Swiss DolorClast® Method is a clinically proven therapy for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and spasticity.
- Reduction of pain felt by nerve fibers
- Increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues
- Beginning of healing process triggered by stem cells activation
The Science of Shockwave
A shock wave is a single acoustic pulse characterized by a rapid rise to a high peak pressure followed by a rapid drop to below ambient pressure. They are delivered to the affected area from the point of contact at the skin surface.
The Swiss DolorClast® Method uses single acoustic pressure waves to treat musculoskeletal and dermatological pathologies. It offers two technologies – propagation of radial and/or focused shock waves — to optimize treatment results.
By delivering a mechanical stress to injured tissues, Shock Waves enable:

PAIN RELIEF
Depletion of presynaptic substance P in C nerve fibers1
Blockade of neurogenic inflammation1 Improved tendons gliding ability2
HEALING
Improved blood circulation3
Activation of mesenchymal stem cells4 New bone formation5

Ballistic Generation
Compressed air accelerates a projectile which strikes a fixed applicator.
The kinetic energy is converted into a shock wave delivered to the target tissue through the skin.
These shock waves are conveyed radially for broad treatment areas.
Radial shock wave visualization
The compression phase (P+) penetrates the skin and weakens the tissue.
A tensile phase (P-) follows generating cavitation bubbles.
These bubbles collapse causing secondary shock waves.
Why consistent energy delivery so important
Shock Wave therapy is dose dependent. However, as you increase the frequency of shock waves generated, not all devices and handpieces can sustain the same energy delivery at higher frequencies.
Bench studies1 demonstrate that the DolorClast® Radial Shock Waves delivers up to 200% more energy density than competing devices at frequencies of 15 Hz and above and maximum pressure.

How do radial shock waves work?
Red chili peppers contain capsaicin. At first this substance overwhelms the so-called C nerve fibers 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 shock wave therapy works the same way1.
