Medial (Golfer’s) and Lateral (Tennis) Epicondylitis.Shoulder Impingement Syndrome – Peri-articular shoulder calcification.Tendonitis / Calcifying Tendonitis / Tendonopathy.Shockwave treatments have been employed for several different musculoskeletal conditions including but not limited to: In all situations, the PiezoWave2 is considered the non-invasive alternative to surgery. “…emerging research via prospective placebo-controlled, double-blind studies shows that ESWT is effective and should be considered a proven technology.” – Lowell Scott Weil, Jr., DPM, MBA New to the United States only 4 years ago, the PiezoWave2 is now an FDA Registered Class 1 Modality. Further, MyACT/PiezoWave2 has been used in Germany for the past 23 years. This facilitates cellular repair by increasing blood flow and reducing pain.Įxtracorporeal shock waves have been used successfully in the treatment of chronic pain since the early ’90s in Europe. Penetration depths of between 0.5mm and 3 cm are possible, depending on the therapy source. The PiezoWave2 then localizes trigger points, delivering highly focused acoustic pulses that penetrate precisely to the desired depth. The PiezoWave2 delivers mechanical energy in the form of sound waves to target tissue, including tenocytes in tendons, fibroblasts in ligaments and skin, osteocytes in bone, chondrocytes in articular cartilage, and endothelial cells in blood vessels, which are all highly responsive to mechanical energy. The extracorporeal, focused shock wave allows precise diagnosis and therapy of active and latent trigger points that are thickened, pain-sensitive points within a usually tense muscle. The PiezoWave2 offers a significant expansion of the range of applications for myofascial pain syndrome. The PiezoWave2, developed by Richard Wolf, combines orthopedic applications of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) with the applications of Trigger Point Shock Wave Therapy (TPST), which are highly efficient, non-surgical treatments for chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system. Through the use of the PiezoWave2 technology, MyACT is used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints. Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) describes the use of acoustic waves to target tissue at varying depths to compress and manipulate the tissue to facilitate the body’s natural healing response. Boaz, Doctor of Physical Therapy, is excited to be the FIRST and ONLY clinician in all of San Diego that has the PiezoWave2 technology!
