Controlling Pain. Restoring Motion.
PiezoWave2 with Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT).
A Revolutionary Top 10 Must Have Device
How Does PiezoWave2 Work?
Extracorporeal shockwaves have been used successfully to treat chronic pain syndromes since the beginning of the 1990s. PiezoWave has significantly expanded the range of applications available to treat myofascial pain syndromes. Myofascial Acoustical Compression Therapy (MyACT) is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. It produces focused acoustic waves to target, compress, and manipulate tissue at varying depths resulting in a precise deep tissue massage. The mechanical stimulus delivered by MyACT can lead to increased circulation, increased range of motion and pain relief, which are key components in the healing process. PiezoWave2 is currently noted as the fastest growing rehab modality in professional sports.
Why PiezoWave2 and MyACT are Unique
Other compression devices to treat musculoskeletal conditions do not utilize sound waves to create the compression. Instead, they rely on a percussive application to the outer layer of soft tissue with the hope that the resulting pressure will translate through the tissue to the targeted injury. PiezoWave2 sends an array of sound waves effortlessly and without sensation through the soft tissue to the desired, controlled depth and at that point the sound focuses to create the compression This results in a more controlled and effective delivery of energy along with a greater patient compliance to the therapy.
The two methods of delivery could not be more different and according to clinicians who have used both devices, so are the clinical outcomes.
