Dorset Shockwave Clinic

Dorset Shockwave Clinic is run by consultant orthopaedic surgeons working at the Winterbourne Hospital, Dorchester and the Dorset County Hospital. The Dorset Shockwave Clinic is a leading provider of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) which is delivers pulses of high energy to a focused area such as an ankle, elbow or shoulder. When applied to areas of inflamed tissue (i.e. an injury) the high energy pulses kick start the body's natural healing processes by stimulating the formation of new blood vessels. This results in improved metabolism which in turn activates cell generation and helps dissolve calcium deposits. Pain relief is often immediate with permanent healing occurring within 4-6 weeks of the last session. Three sessions are recommended for most pathologies, each lasting 15-20 minutes. Often this means no need for subsequent needles or surgery.
