![]() ![]() PiezoWave Therapy also diminishes pain by way of “hyperstimulation anesthesia” and “gate control mechanism.” Hyperstimulation anesthesia is where nerves sending signals of pain to the brain are stimulated to the point that their activity diminishes, thereby decreasing or eliminating pain. In addition to breaking down these deposits, these have been shown to stimulate osteoblasts(which are responsible for bone healing) and fibroblasts(which are responsible for healing connective tissues such as tendon, ligaments, and fascia). As these cavitation bubbles collapse, they also create smaller, secondary energy waves known as microjets, which also break down pathological deposits of calcification.ĭuring a treatment session, hundreds of thousands of these cavitations occur. These cavitation bubbles expand, then collapse and burst, creating a force that is strong enough to break down pathological deposits of calcification in soft tissues. The wave pressure front creates behind it what are known as “cavitation bubbles.” Simply put, it actually breaks up areas of calcification in chronic injuries, releases muscle spasms, forces inflammatory components and lactic acid out of damaged tissues, and forms new neovascularization in the area. A mechanical pressure is exerted on the affected tissue, which creates an increase in cell permeability, thereby increasing microscopic circulation to the tissues, which promotes healing and subsequent dissolution of pathological calcific deposits. It then creates a mechanical stress to the cells known as mechanotransduction. These waves are harnessed and converged through a gel pad that allows the waves to be focused directly into the body at a VERY specific depth and a VERY specific area. Piezowaves are short duration, high energy waves traveling faster than the speed of sound. These waves will even pick up on injured areas in the soft tissue not detectable by palpation or advanced imaging. When these pulses(piezowaves) come into contact with an injured area, it will create a detectable change in sensation that the patient can feel, to which the patient will respond by letting the therapist know precisely where to focus the treatment. The location of treatment is based on the patient’s feedback to the clinician. It works by locating injuries in the soft tissue due to the change in density created by an injury. In short, this machine can treat ANY musculoskeletal injuries, new and old. What conditions can PiezoWave Therapy treat? ![]() PiezoWave Therapy (aka Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy/MyACT) is a new non surgical technology that uses acoustic pulses to treat acute and chronic pain and injuries in muscles, tendons, bones, and joints.
