DOLORCLAST® FOCUSED
• When it comes to finding an alternative to
surgery or injections to treat painful chronic
musculoskeletal disorders, Extracorporeal
Shock Waves Therapy (ESWT) is a treatment of
choice. Non-invasive, safe and based on clinical
evidences, ESWT has been proven to trigger
various molecular and cellular mechanisms
in the treated tissues, fostering healing and
resulting in immediate and long-lasting pain
relief.
FOCUSES SHOCK WAVES
• Following a decade of success in Radial Shock
Wave Therapy, EMS has broaden its therapeutic
arsenal by offering in 2009 Focused Shock
Waves Therapy (FSWT). Based on similar
acoustic properties of radial shock waves,
focused shock waves are generated in such way
that they deliver their energy in depth and with
accuracy.
• EMS Focused Shock Waves device uses
the piezoelectric principle. High voltage is
discharged in the handpiece across a pattern
of thousands piezoceramic crystals that each
induces an acoustic wave delivered to the
treated tissues. The distinct distribution of
crystals causes these multiple waves to converge
and steepen into a shock wave towards the
target center.
• The convergence of the focused shock wave
up to 8 cm deep-down the tissues allows the
treatment of specific deep pathologies such
as subacromial pain syndrome or nonunion
fractures or break down calcification deposits in
soft tissues. Focused Shock Waves are as well
best suited to address painful enthesiopathy
as their propagation in the tissues is more
comfortable than radial shock waves.
• Shock waves delivery is short in time, usually
lasting just a few minutes, thus enabling to
be coupled with other therapies within the
same session as recommended by the GDT.
DolorClast® Shock Wave protocol usually
includes a total of three to five sessions,
planned at a rate of two sessions per week wit
