How does Acoustic ShockWave Therapy Work?
How does Acoustic ShockWave Therapy Work?
The Piezowave2 machine delivers thousands of high-energy sound wave impulses to the affected tissue. These impulses are believed to cause microtrauma to scar tissue and arthritic areas, stimulating the body’s natural metabolic activity, creating a healthy inflammatory response, stimulating the regenerative properties of the body’s stem cells to regenerate functional tissue, promoting healing.

How does Acoustic ShockWave Therapy Work?
The Piezowave2 machine enables doctors to pinpoint specific areas of injury and deliver impulses precisely where they are most effective. There is no pain or discomfort in uninjured areas and often, patients experience immediate pain reduction, improved mobility, and enhanced function. Being non-invasive, the treatment does not require anesthesia and the most common minor side effect is soreness in the treated area, which typically dissipates quickly.
