PIEZOWAVE THERAPY

Piezowave Therapy - Exclusively at ORS

At Orthopaedic Rehab Specialists Physical Therapy, we utilize the advanced Acoustic Compression Therapy known as PIEZOWAVE. This cutting-edge treatment is applied to conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, and more. Using a handheld device, high-frequency sound waves are delivered to the affected area, promoting blood flow and facilitating the natural healing process. Acoustic Compression Therapy is a non-invasive and innovative approach that effectively addresses various musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. By reducing pain, inflammation, and muscle tension while promoting tissue healing and regeneration, this therapy enhances overall recovery.

The Benefits of Acoustic Compression Therapy

Acoustic Compression Therapy offers numerous advantages as a safe and effective alternative to invasive treatments like surgery or steroid injections. Additionally, it boasts a shorter recovery time, enabling patients to resume their regular activities sooner. Our physical therapists are committed to delivering optimal results through Acoustic Compression Therapy, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and techniques to provide individualized and high-quality care.

Understanding Acoustic Compression Therapy

Acoustic Compression Therapy, also known as Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT or ACT), employs acoustic waves to target tissues at various depths, applying compression and manipulation for a precise deep tissue massage. This treatment is widely used to address acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons, and joints. The mechanical stimulus provided by Acoustic Compression Therapy improves circulation and relieves pain, playing essential roles in the healing process.

The PIEZOWAVE: A Closer Look

The PIEZOWAVE (MyACT) Acoustic Compression Therapy machine generates compressed sound waves that penetrate the body and converge deep within the soft tissues, creating intense and brief compression events. This process enhances circulation and provides pain relief, crucial factors in promoting healing.

Benefits of PIEZOWAVE (MyACT)

PIEZOWAVE Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) offers several therapeutic effects, including muscle relaxation, tissue stimulation, pain relief, and improved blood flow. Clinical studies and patient reports have demonstrated its ability to eliminate pain, facilitate healing, enhance local microcirculation, improve tissue metabolism, reduce local muscle tension, and aid in the dissolution of calcific fibroblasts. Moreover, Acoustic Compression Therapy has been found useful in cases where pain without a known cause exists, often associated with myofascial trigger points. Patients experiencing this type of pain have found relief through Acoustic Compression Therapy.
