However, within 2-4 hours they may experience soreness in the area. Most patients will experience immediate relief of pain following the treatment. Also, the intensity of the treatment can be adjusted to allow for some analgesic effect in the beginning of each session. However, most patients are able to tolerate the treatments very well since it only lasts for about 5 minutes. Does The Treatment Hurt?ĭepending upon the level of pain the patient is already experiencing in the area, there may be some discomfort during each treatment. Approximately 2000 shocks are delivered lasting around 5 minutes.ģ-5 treatments are needed with 5-10 days between treatments. During this time 2000 to 3000 pulse waves are delivered into the area being treated. How Long Do Treatments Take?Įach session of treatment will take approximately 5-10 minutes. There are minor secondary effects following treatment, generally some soreness that will dissipate in a short amount of time. It is non-invasive and there is no need for anesthesia. In many instances there can be an immediate reduction of pain as well as improved mobility and improved function. It is thought to stimulate the body’s own healing ability. This therapy can be used without the use of X-rays or drugs, although the diagnostic process and or previous treatments may have already included these. Stimulate the “washing away” of Substance-P (a pain producing chemical).Improve local micro circulation leading to improved tissue metabolism.Piezo-electric shock wave therapy is believed, and has clinically shown, to have the following effects: It has been in use in Europe for many years with very successful clinical results in treating various forms of musculoskeletal conditions.
This form of treatment, being relatively new, is still being researched. These impulses are thought to cause scar tissue and calcific fibroblasts to break down and this in turn provokes metabolic activity and an inflammatory response which promotes and stimulates healing. PiezoWave delivers thousands of high energy shock waves to the affected tissue in the region of treatment, typically “the painful area”. These are NOT electric shocks, but physical/mechanical pulses that will travel through the tissue being treated.
Piezo wave therapy series#
It delivers a series of high-energy percussion waves to the area being treated. Piezo-electric shock wave therapy (Also known as Radial Pulse Wave Therapy) is an extremely effective and non-invasive solution to pain associated with musculoskeletal system.
