Shockwave therapy are treatments we use at Philadelphia Laser Pain Center that use shockwaves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in various musculoskeletal conditions. Both therapies share similarities in terms of their underlying principle—using acoustic waves to promote tissue repair—but they may differ in the technology used.
PiezoWave therapy, which uses piezoelectric sources to generate acoustic waves, is often employed to address various musculoskeletal conditions and promote healing. Here are ways in which PiezoWave therapy may help:
PiezoWave therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as tendonitis, including conditions like tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis. The acoustic waves stimulate the healing process in the affected tendons.
Individuals suffering from plantar fasciitis, a condition involving inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot, may find relief through PiezoWave therapy. The treatment aims to reduce pain and promote tissue healing in the plantar fascia.
Various soft tissue injuries, such as strains or tears in muscles or ligaments, may benefit from PiezoWave therapy. The acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and cellular activity, supporting the repair of damaged tissues.
PiezoWave therapy can enhance blood circulation in the treated area. Improved blood flow helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, facilitating the healing process.
The therapy may contribute to the reduction of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal conditions. By promoting the release of anti-inflammatory factors, PiezoWave therapy aims to create a more favorable environment for healing.
Acoustic waves from PiezoWave therapy can influence cellular metabolism. This may result in increased cellular activity, collagen production, and other processes essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
PiezoWave therapy is generally non-invasive, meaning it does not require surgical procedures. It provides an alternative for individuals seeking non-surgical interventions for their musculoskeletal conditions.
The therapy is often performed on an outpatient basis, and sessions are relatively quick. This convenience may appeal to individuals looking for efficient treatments with minimal downtime.
