The Piezowave2 therapy was developed by Richard Wolf, the leader in Lithotripsy therapy. While standard Lithotripsy is used to shatter large kidney stones into fragments small enough for the patient to pass with minimal discomfort, Piezowave therapy is used to address many common soft tissue issues.

How Does Piezowave2 Therapy Work?

The Piezowave2 machine delivers thousands of high-energy sound wave impulses to the affected tissue. These impulses are thought to cause micro trauma to scar tissue and arthritic areas. As a result, it stimulates the body’s natural metabolic activity, creates a healthy inflammatory response, and stimulates healing.

The Piezowave2 machine assists the doctor to identify very specific areas of injury and then delivers a series of impulses precisely where they are most effective. There is absolutely no pain or discomfort experienced in areas that are not injured.

In many instances, there can be an immediate reduction of pain as well as improved mobility and function. Since it is non-invasive, there is no need for anesthesia. The most common minor side effect following treatment is soreness in the treated area that will normally dissipate in a short amount of time.

Physical Principles of acoustic single pressure wave

Acoustic pressure waves are mechanical waves that result from the back-and-forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound ave is moving. A MyAct single pressure wave is characterized by an acoustic pulse with a spatial exapnsion and a very short rise time of only a few nanoseconds. After a few microseconds, the rise is followed by a brief period of negative pressure, after which pressure returns to normal again.
