Targeted, Non-Invasive Pain Relief

Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT)

The PiezoWave is a unique, highly effective medical technology that is virtually painless, non-invasive and reduces the need for drugs or surgery.

The acoustic waves generated by the PiezoWave therapy sources meet at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense, extremely short duration pressure wave. This focused acoustic compression force is translated to the surrounding tissue like an extremely precise therapeutic deep tissue massage.

The results of the mechanical stimulus delivered by MyACT can lead to increased circulation and pain relief – key components in the healing process.

Patient Guided Pain Relief

The sources of pain are not always found in the area where the pain seems to be radiating from. This is clinically called referred pain. The distancing of the pain sensation from its source can make treatment more difficult. Diagnosis of referred pain and the recognition of the originating pain triggering points can be accomplished using the PiezoWave.

Abnormal musculoskeletal tissue can be “flared” with focused MyACT in order to define the areas that require treatment. This process of defining the origins of pain is guided by the patient through verbal feedback to the healthcare professional providing the treatment.

FAQs

How many sessions does it take
to see results? How long does a session take?

A typical PiezoWave2 treatment takes between 10 and 20 minutes. Normally, 1-2 treatments per week are performed in an average of 6 weeks. A total of 3-5 treatments may be necessary before lasting improvement is achieved. With acute pain, a single session is often successful. A typical PiezoWave2 treatment takes between 10 and 20 minutes

Is PiezoWave Safe? Are there any side effects?

Yes, PiezoWave therapy is completely safe and there are no risks involved. PiezoWave therapy is a much safer alternative to surgery and injections. For this procedure, there is no anesthesia involved and you can immediately return to your daily activities after your session, with no downtime, no pain, and no discomfort. Treatment side-effects are limited to reddened skin and/or minor soreness at the treatment site.

What conditions can be treated?

PiezoWave therapy is used to treat both acute and chronic pain in the muscles and joints. It’s commonly used to relieve painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, sprains and strains, and soft tissue strains and so much more.

What can I expect during a treatment?

Your clinician will identify the treatment site or sites. They will then apply a thin coat of coupling gel. The clinician will start the treatment at a very low output setting and increase the power to a level that you help define and is best suited for your condition. As the clinician moves the therapy source around the treatment area, you may feel a deep, dull ache over the area of concern. The clinician will ask you to report when you feel the ache and will adjust the output of the device to the appropriate level for your treatment.

How Is PiezoWave Pain Treatment Different From Ultrasound?

Like ultrasound, PiezoWave Pain Treatment is a non-invasive procedure. However, the treatment can penetrate precise depths underneath your skin between 0.5 mm and 3 cm. This is much deeper than the standard ultrasound.

PiezoWave Pain Treatment is useful in identifying trigger points that are discrete, focal and hyperirritable spots in the taut band of your muscle. Trigger points can generate pain, both locally and in the referred pain patterns, and may accompany chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Are there any side effects to the treatment?

Treatment side-effects are limited to reddened skin and/or minor soreness at the treatment site.
