At home, Acoustic Wave Therapy can be used to relieve chronic pain, accelerate healing and promote wellness. It provides a noninvasive alternative to surgery or long-term medication use.
Sound waves stimulate cellular and muscular responses that contribute to pain relief. This process, known as vasodilation, increases blood flow to the affected area for enhanced relief.
Improved Blood Circulation
Acoustic Wave Therapy (EWST) utilizes mechanical pressure to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and many other musculoskeletal conditions. EWST may also help break down calcium deposits to address conditions like calcific shoulder tendinopathy (Frozen Shoulder).
Sound waves transfer mechanical energy from sound waves into body tissues and cause cavitation – opening blood vessels around soft-tissue injuries for better circulation, increasing oxygen and nutrients delivery to affected soft tissue areas faster healing time.
AWT can be an ideal treatment option for individuals unable to take blood thinners or anticoagulants as it works to break down plaque buildup that narrows our arteries, improving flow and helping reduce symptoms associated with heart disease. Furthermore, it may treat specific neurological conditions including Parkinson’s disease by relieving muscle stiffness or multiple sclerosis by reversing nerve damage.
Companies advertising at-home shockwave devices often contain relatively insufficient energy, failing to offer all the benefits associated with professional treatments. Instead, seek out a reputable clinic equipped with professional shockwave equipment.
When looking for a shockwave specialist near you, make sure they offer packages or discounts on treatment sessions. In addition, it is also essential to see if they participate in any clinical studies or research programs as these can save money on treatment while contributing medical knowledge – often leading to discounted or free sessions! Finally, be wary of companies promising at-home shockwave devices as this treatment method has yet to be approved by FDA for erectile dysfunction treatment and therefore has yet to prove successful.
Reduced Swelling
At the core of sound wave therapy is pressure that breaks down any adhesions or calcium deposits in muscles, tendons and ligaments to improve tissue regeneration and speed up healing times. Acoustic wave therapy also stimulates new blood vessel formation to reduce swelling. Anti-inflammatory properties help lower production of inflammatory chemicals while stimulating collagen synthesis which leads to bone repair – while shock waves provide mechanical release from muscle taught bands and facial restrictions to alleviate myofascial pain.
Storz Medical’s Piezowave therapy uses an acoustic shockwave technology known as Piezowave that is easily accessible at home through their MASTERPULS ONE machine, making this easy-to-use treatment suitable for taking into the home or taking directly onto the field prior to training or competitions.
MASTERPULS ONE’s acoustic shock wave energy has been demonstrated to induce neoangiogenesis, or new blood vessel formation, improving circulation and oxygen supply to body tissues, helping heal injured and strained tissues, reduce pain levels, enhance flexibility and restore joint mobility. This helps the body heal itself as it works toward recovery and healing itself faster.
This treatment is safe and non-invasive with no adverse side effects, making it an ideal adjunct to other regenerative therapies such as PRP and stem cells. Acupressure or manual manipulation may also be used alongside it to speed up healing time.
If you want to know if at-home acoustic wave therapy is right for you, the best way to assess is by visiting a reputable clinic and having an experienced chiropractor perform the procedure. They will perform an assessment and target any specific issues you are having before creating a personalized treatment plan to fit your unique needs.
Reduced Pain
Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) has become increasingly popular as a noninvasive pain management treatment over recent years. Working to promote healing at the cellular level, AWT can alleviate symptoms associated with chronic musculoskeletal conditions like Plantar Fascitis, Tennis Elbow and Calcific Shoulder Tendinopathy (Frozen Shoulder). Furthermore, this non-invasive option reduces injections or other invasive methods.
At each treatment session, your specialist will apply ultrasound gel to the area needing therapy, then move a device that emits acoustic waves over the region. The sound waves create micro trauma that stimulates natural healing processes while increasing blood flow to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration – ultimately decreasing pain levels significantly.
Acoustic waves can also break down soft-tissue calcifications, providing relief for some musculoskeletal conditions like calcific shoulder tendinopathy. Relaxing muscles and untie knots provide respite from myofascial pain syndrome symptoms.
Acoustic waves can help promote collagen production, an essential element for bone and joint health. By increasing production of this essential substance, they can prevent tissue breakdown that occurs when our bodies don’t produce enough of it and improve flexibility of joints as well as relieving pain caused by osteoarthritis. Acoustic wave therapy also has been found helpful in relieving symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease as well as increasing muscle function for muscular dystrophy patients and relieving pain associated with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome patients.
Reduced Inflammation
By applying sound waves to open blood capillaries through vasodilation, sound wave therapy helps accelerate tissue repair by increasing oxygen and nutrients being delivered directly to treated areas and decreasing inflammation and pain levels for faster healing times. Acoustic wave therapy is commonly used for treating conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and knee osteoarthritis; however it may also be applied to treat other illnesses or ailments.
Acoustic wave therapy not only increases blood circulation and decreases swelling, but it can also provide long-term inflammation relief by breaking down painful calcifications in soft tissues such as tendons and muscles causing discomfort. Furthermore, dispersal of substance P alleviates discomfort.
Acoustic wave therapy can also be utilized as a form of cosmetic medicine for scar reduction and skin tightening purposes. It may be recommended for those looking for alternatives to more invasive procedures like injections or surgery.
Acoustic wave therapy utilizes radial wave technology that penetrates deeper into body tissues than ever before, making it effective against various ailments affecting tendons, muscles, ligaments and bones.
Acoustic wave therapy has long been utilized by orthopedics as a form of treatment for sports injuries, broken bones and other musculoskeletal conditions. Recently it’s becoming popular in urology as an approach for treating erectile dysfunction without surgery or downtime; many patients see long-term results after only three sessions! Unfortunately though some individuals may not qualify as they either have blood clotting disorders or take anticoagulants that interfere with its efficacy.
Reduced Infection
Shockwave Therapy, which utilizes sound waves to increase blood flow and decrease pain, is an innovative form of noninvasive therapy without incisions required. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by encouraging increased blood flow to an area and encouraging new tissue cell generation for faster wound healing and lessened inflammation.
Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) is an effective remedy for many musculoskeletal conditions, from sports-related injuries to chronic back issues. Acoustic energy delivered via shockwaves helps regenerate bones, tendons and soft tissues; and has proven particularly helpful in treating erectile dysfunction – commonly referred to as ED – as well as Peyronie’s disease which results in severe penis stiffening or bowing.
To treat erectile dysfunction, our therapist will utilize a handheld device that uses compressed air to convert into sound waves. They will apply ultrasound gel before moving the device over your skin – during treatment you will feel an intense burst of pressure as the acoustic waves travel through tissues – after this session you may experience reduced pain levels, increased blood flow, and enhanced sexual performance.
Low energy shock waves have long been used in orthopedic medicine to treat damaged muscles, tendons, bones and nerves. Their use has proven extremely successful at relieving pain while increasing circulation by unblocking blocked areas of circulation and improving function.
Acoustic wave therapy is a safe and noninvasive solution to most ailments. While the number of sessions required varies from patient to patient, improvement typically begins within several days or even sooner in some cases. Please keep in mind, however, that Acoustic Wave Therapy should not be performed during women’s menstruation cycles or on areas affected by infection or inflammation.
