SHOCKWAVE THERAPY PiezoWave (German Made Machine)

TEL: 949- 436 63 83

Introducing the PiezoWave2 and Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT)™ with aptitude to pinpoint the pain and treat at the source.

***There are so many ShockWave Machines out there but ALWAYS ALWAY look at MADE IN WHAT COUNTRY is the machine ! Also important to use FOCCUS SHOCKWAVE and not Radial shockwave.

Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. MyACT describes the use of acoustic waves to target tissue at varying depths to compress and manipulate tissue resulting in a focused and precise deep acoustic target tissue. The results of the mechanical stimulus delivered by MyACT can lead to increased circulation and pain relief – key components in the healing process.

Focused Therapy Source for PinPoint Treatments

LINEAR Therapy Source – for Macro treatments

The Piezo-Electric Principle offers an extensive range of configurations. The only one of its kind in the world, the PiezoWave2 allows users to choose between a classic focused therapy source and a linear focused soundwave.

Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain. 

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Explanation of PiezoWave2 – MyACT (Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy)

PiezoWave2 – MyACT is Acoustic Compression Therapy which uses sound waves to REMODEL TISSUE AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL by addressing a large variety of conditions including, scar tissue, calcification, tendinopathy, bursitis, capsulations and so much more.

PiezoWave2 technology is based off the same conceptual technology as lithotripsy to break up kidney stones just with lower, more pinpoint energy. A good way to explain it to your patients is to think of a submarine at the bottom of the ocean, they cannot see in front of them so they send out sonar waves (sound waves) to find anything that may be in front of the submarine and when it finds something it sends a signal back to the sub. This is the same idea or concept with MyACT.

The patient does not feel anything during treatments when you are over healthy or hydrated tissue. The patient will feel a dull aching feeling when you pass over any compromised tissue, making it easy to know that you are on the correct location so you can address the soft tissue injury directly.

One of many unique things about the PiezoWave ShockWave is that you get biomechanical feedback from the patient while doing the treatment so you know you have located the correct spot. When you find the compromised tissue the patient feels a dull aching feeling almost like a toothache or pushing on a bruise.
The kinetic energy of the projectile, created by compressed air, is transferred to the transmitter at the end of the applicator and further into the tissue. 

MEDICAL EFFECTS of PiezoWave ShockWave

Acoustic waves with high energy peak used in Shockwave therapy interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration. All the processes mentioned in this section are typically employed simultaneously and are used to treat chronic, sub-acute and acute (advanced users only) conditions. 

LINEAR Vs. FOCCUS therapy sources are

FOCCUS Part ShockWave

1. The Pinpoint FOCCUS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY SOURCE (F7G3) is exactly that pinpoint and has 250 piezo crystals in one layer and is ideal for most treatments- especially insertion points and precise treatments.

LINEAR Part ShockWave

2. The Linear (FBL) therapy source covers more surface area linear wise and had 450 piezo crystal in two layers giving more energy output to cover the larger treatment area. Linear is ideal for larger muscle groups such as quads, hamstrings, etc. Some of our sports teams use the linear to wand the area to increase blood flow for pre and post workouts.

With the PiezoWave there are two adjustments on the control unit for frequency of pulses per second ranging from 1 – 8 pulses per second and the other is the intensity level from (0.1 up to 18). Most people do not get above 10, so there is more than enough energy output and pulses per second with the PiezoWave. Most treatments are around 8-10 mins averaging 1,000 – 2,500 pulses.

LINEAR SHOCKWAVE

Stimulation of Collagen Production

Dissolution of Calcified Fibroblasts

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY and FROZEN SHOULDER

Calcium build-up is most often a result of micro-tears or other trauma to a tendon. Acoustic waves break up the existing calcifications. Shockwave therapy starts the biochemical decalcification of the calcium build-up of a toothpaste-like consistency and treats the tendon. The granular particles of calcium are then removed by the lymphatic system.

Reversal of Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. It can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using pervasive acoustic waves.

Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokines and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative processes.

The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures. Shockwave therapy accelerates procollagen synthesis. The therapy forces the newly created collagen fibers into a longitudinal structure which makes the newly formed tendon fibers more dense and stiff and creates a firmer structure. 

New Blood Vessel Formation

Nutrient blood flow is necessary to start and maintain the repair processes of damaged tissue structure. The application of acoustic waves creates capillary micro-ruptures in tendon and bone. Due to micro-ruptures the expression of growth factors such as eNOS, VEGF, PCNS and BMP is significantly increased.

As a result of these processes arterioles are remodeled, stimulated to grow and new ones are formed. The new blood vessels improve blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area and support faster healing of both the tendon and the bone. 

Release of Trigger Points

TRIGGER POINTS

Trigger points are the principal cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulder and limbs. They are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers and have extremely contracted sarcomeres. The dysfunctional sarcomeres contract so tightly that they begin to cut off their own blood supply. This causes the waste products to build up. Waste product build-up irritates the sensory nerve endings which then causes even more contraction. This vicious cycle is referred to as “metabolic crisis”. The assumed mechanism of action is that the delivered acoustic energy unblocks the calcium pump and thus reverses the metabolic crisis in the myofilaments and releases the trigger points.

Dispersion of Pain Mediator “Substance P”

Substance P is a neurotransmitter that mediates pain information through C-fibers. This neuropeptide is generally associated with intense, persistent and chronic pain. It relays pain messages to the central nervous system. Lowering the concentration of Substance P reduces the stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers and thus reduces the pain. Decreasing Substance P, histamines and other nociceptive metabolites also helps inhibit development of inflammatory oedema. Acoustic waves generated by Shockwave therapy lower the Substance P concentration and trigger pain relief.
