Shockwave Therapy
At Oceanside Physio, we use evidence-based shockwave therapy incorporating two leading technologies:
- Swiss DolorClast® Radial Shockwave Therapy
- STORZ® Focused Shockwave Therapy
These technologies allow us to tailor shockwave treatment to the individual and the condition being treated, using either radial or focused shockwave therapy, or both, where clinically appropriate.
Our approach combines advanced technology with thorough clinical assessment and hands-on physiotherapy to ensure shockwave therapy is integrated into a treatment plan designed around your specific condition, needs and goals.
It is clinically proven that radial pressure waves, when applied to injured tissues, stimulate metabolic reactions:
- Reduction of pain felt by nerve fibers
- Increase of blood circulation in surrounding soft tissues
- Beginning of healing process triggered by stem cells activation
