About MyACT (Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy)

PiezoWave2 – MyACT is Acoustic Compression Therapy that uses acoustic mechanical sound waves to remodel tissue at the cellular level by addressing a large variety of conditions including, scar tissue, calcification, tendinopathy, bursitis, capsulations and so much more.

 

What is the story behind MyACT?

Many types of focused soundwaves have been used in the field of medicine with great success for more than 20 years. Based on a high level of evidence, Richard Wolf GmbH – a manufacturer of lithotripsy (ESWL) and orthopaedic (ESWT) devices – has specifically designed piezo therapy sources to generate low energy/low pressure applications for the treatment of myofascial and musculoskeletal pain.

Advantages of Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy

• Locates and alleviates musculoskeletal pain

• Non-invasive

• Reduces pain medications

Outpatient treatment

• Short therapy time 7-12 minutes

• Only 4-6 treatments needed in most cases

How Does Piezowave2 Therapy Work?

The Piezowave2 machine delivers thousands of high energy sound wave impulse to the affected tissue. These impulses are thought to cause micro trauma to scar tissue and arthritic areas. As a result, it stimulates the body’s natural metabolic activity, creates a healthy inflammatory response, and stimulates healing.

The Piezowave2 machine assists the doctor to identify very specific areas of injury and then delivers a series of impulses precisely where they are most effective. There is absolutely no pain or discomfort experienced in areas that are not injured.

In many instances there can be an immediate reduction of pain as well as improved mobility and function. Since it is non-invasive, there is no need for anesthesia. The most common minor side effect following treatment is soreness in the treated area that will normally dissipate in a short amount of time.
