Dolorclast® Shockwave Therapy

Fast, Non-Surgical Relief for Chronic Foot Pain

At KL Foot Specialist Podiatry, our shockwave therapy service offers quick, targeted treatment for stubborn conditions like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs-without the need for surgery or downtime. It’s one of the most advanced tools we use to help patients heal faster and move better.

Shockwave Therapy sounds intense — but it’s actually a gentle, non-surgical treatment proven to help with stubborn foot pain. It uses sound waves (not electric shocks!) to boost your body’s natural healing. These sound waves help increase blood flow, break up tight or damaged tissue, and speed up recovery. It’s safe, effective, and often works when rest and other treatments haven’t helped.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. These waves improve blood flow, break down scar tissue, and trigger tissue regeneration-especially helpful for conditions that haven’t improved with rest or other therapies.

Who Needs Shockwave Therapy?

This treatment is especially beneficial for people with:

• Chronic plantar fasciitis or heel pain

• Achilles tendinopathy

• Heel spurs

• Tendon injuries that won’t go away

• Overuse injuries in active adults or athletes

If you've tried stretching, rest, or even injections but still feel pain, Shockwave Therapy may be the breakthrough you need.

Our Shockwave Therapy Process

At KL Foot Specialist Podiatry, we use the DolorClast® Radial Shockwave system-a leading technology in podiatric care:

1. Accurate Diagnosis
   We first conduct a full assessment to confirm that shockwave therapy is appropriate for your condition.

2. Targeted Application
   The podiatrist applies the handheld device directly to the painful area to deliver acoustic pulses.

3. Short Treatment Sessions
   Each session lasts about 10–20 minutes and typically requires 3–6 sessions for full effect. Mild discomfort may occur but is usually brief and tolerable.

4. No Downtime
   You can resume most normal activities immediately, though we’ll guide you on optimal recovery.

Is Shockwave Therapy Painful?

Some patients feel mild discomfort similar to pressure over a bruise, especially during the first session. However, DolorClast®'s Analgesic Mode makes the treatment more comfortable for sensitive individuals, and discomfort usually reduces after the initial session.

Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?

Yes. RSWT® is non-invasive, FDA-cleared, and safe even for patients with implants or pacemakers (when not treated directly over those areas). Side effects are rare and typically limited to minor, short-lived soreness.
