DolorClast radial shockwave therapy

A shockwave therapy handpiece being applied to the outside of a patient's elbow

sportsmed was the first healthcare provider in South Australia to offer patients access to DolorClast radial shockwave therapy – a world-class, safe and non-invasive treatment for soft tissue conditions.

Widely used in North America and Europe, the Therapy works by sending high energy soundwaves through a probe which is held against the affected area.
