Shockwave Therapy: A Revolutionary Advance In Pain Management

Shockwave therapy, also termed as  Piezowave Therapy, is one of the most innovative and effective new techniques for pain management. This revolutionary therapy offers a non-surgical way of treating chronic pain without the risks of surgery. Shockwave therapy is effective for more severe chronic pain, such as caused by nerve impingement, tumors, and fractures. It is also an effective treatment for abdominal pain, knee pain, ankle pain, back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. So what is it, and how does it work?

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses sound waves to reduce pain and numbness and increase motion. This is different from surgery in that it uses ultrasound waves to achieve the same results without causing damage to the tissues. The Piezowave Device delivers precisely controlled high-frequency sound waves to the body tissues via an acoustic coupling. This causes tissue-penetrating energy and mechanical shock waves to be delivered to the affected areas, promoting natural healing.

How Shockwave Therapy Works?

The Piezowave technology uses a small amount of piezoelectric ceramic material placed inside an applicator which converts mechanical pressure into electrical energy applied to the structure. The body then converts this into sound and vibration impulses, thereby producing high-frequency sound waves focused on specific tissue areas for about a half-second. 

These sound waves act by generating mechanical shock waves. This works by inducing vibration or mechanical energy into the affected cells, which causes them to vibrate at the same frequency as the sound. The sound waves then directly affect the affected cells, causing pain and inflammation to subside. Shockwaves from this process are not able to damage any vital tissues in the body.

However, they do cause the discomfort associated with the body’s natural healing process. The healing process is achieved when cells and tissues begin to repair themselves in the affected area.

What Does A Typical Session Look Like?

A typical session for pain management typically takes about 20 minutes to complete. During this session, a trained therapist will apply gel to the area being treated. A Piezowave device is then used to create shockwave impulses via contact with the skin. These impulses travel through the skin and underlying tissues into the affected area to relieve the pain and inflammation.

Most patients don’t need any anesthesia or other pain medication for shockwave therapy. This is because the process of using shockwaves almost eliminates the patient’s pain and discomfort. The only feeling that remains is a strong sensation of coolness in the treated area, which usually lasts for about 15 to 30 minutes after the treatment is completed.

Shockwave therapy has been a breakthrough in the treatment of chronic pain. It is an effective treatment for pain management being used by thousands of patients throughout the world.
