Find Relief for Acute and Chronic Pain
Shockwave therapy, also known as Piezowave, is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to target and treat pain in the muscles, tendons, and joints. This advanced therapy is ideal for patients who are dealing with both acute and chronic conditions, offering pain relief and promoting healing without the need for surgery or medication.
What is Shockwave Therapy (Piezowave)?
Shockwave therapy uses precisely targeted sound waves to stimulate the musculoskeletal system beneath the skin. The Piezowave device sends thousands of sound wave pulses into the affected tissue, which helps promote circulation and triggers the body’s natural healing processes. This treatment is designed to relieve pain and enhance tissue regeneration, making it an excellent non-invasive alternative to surgery for many musculoskeletal issues.
Piezowave therapy is effective in treating deep tissues that may not respond to conventional physical therapy, as the sound waves are adjustable for both depth and intensity. It provides long-lasting pain relief and is safe, with no side effects. After your session, you can resume your normal activities without downtime or discomfort.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
During a typical shockwave therapy session, you will relax on a treatment table while the specialist applies a gel to the area being treated. This gel ensures smooth movement of the Piezowave device over the skin. The device sends targeted sound waves deep into the affected area, which can create a dull ache or slight soreness as it triggers your body’s natural healing processes.
A typical session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, and you can immediately return to your regular activities without any downtime or discomfort.
