Piezowave therapy
Pain relief with sound waves
Extremely effective, non-invasive solution to pain associated with the musculoskeletal system.
Innovative Therapy
Sound wave therapy
Richard Wolf, the leader in Lithotripsy therapy, developed Piezowave therapy. Standard Lithotripsy is used to shatter large kidney stones into small fragments, that patients can pass with minimal discomfort.
Piezowave therapy specifically addresses many common soft tissue issues. High-energy sound wave impulses penetrate deep into joints or attachment sites which are too deep for manual therapy techniques to be effective.
How Does Piezowave Therapy Work?
Stimulate the body's natural ability to heal
The Piezowave machine delivers thousands of high energy sound wave impulses. These impulses cause micro trauma to scar tissue and arthritic areas. They stimulate of the body’s natural metabolic activity, which creates a healthy inflammatory response and encourages healing.
Detroit's professional sports teams use this therapy on a recurring basis to keep their players in top shape.
While some patients may experience immediate relief, full resolution of symptoms normally requires 3-6 sessions
Most Effective Treatment Areas
Treatment can be administered to most areas of soft tissue and is most effective in treating:
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Shoulder Pain
• Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow (epicondylitis)
• Arthritic Knees, Hips, and Hands
• Low Back Pain
• Piriformis Syndrome
• Sciatica
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The Piezowave 2 machine
Painless, targeted treatments
Doctors identify specific areas of injury using the Piezowave 2 machine and then deliver a series of impulses precisely where they are most effective.
In many instances, patients feel an immediate reduction of pain, as well as improved mobility and function.
Patients experience absolutely no pain or discomfort in areas that are not injured. The most common minor side effect is soreness in the treated area that normally dissipates in a short amount of time.
