Piezowave/Shockwave Therapy

What is PiezoWave2 shockwave therapy?

PiezoWave2 is an advanced extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) device that uses high-energy sound waves to relieve musculoskeletal pain, reduce inflammation, and improve blood circulation.

This noninvasive treatment targets specific tissues deep within the body, offering a precise massage to damaged tissues. Treatment also triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting the growth of new blood vessels and increased stem cell production.

Sports Chiro & Rehab offers PiezoWave2 therapy in-office for adults and adolescents looking for noninvasive solutions to ease pain and heal damaged tissues.

The team has extensive experience using PiezoWave2 technology to ensure excellent treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of additional complications.

Which conditions can PiezoWave2 shockwave therapy treat?

PiezoWave2 is highly effective at healing damaged tissue that results in persistent pain, inflammation, and mobility issues.

Sports Chiro & Rehab offers PiezoWave2 therapy as part of treatment plans for chronic neck pain, back pain, and joint pain. The team may recommend shockwave therapy to support the healing of damaged tissue in conditions like:

• Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Stress fractures
• Rotator cuff tears
• Myofascial trigger points

The team evaluates your health needs and reviews your medical history to determine if you’re a candidate for treatment with PiezoWave2. Shockwave therapy may not be an option if you have active infections, take blood thinners, or have a pacemaker.

What can I expect during my initial PiezoWave2 shockwave therapy session?

During your first PiezoWave2 shockwave therapy session at Sports Chiro & Rehab, your provider places a handheld device over the treatment area to deliver the high-energy sound waves into the tissues.

The team precisely focuses the energy so it travels deep into the injured muscles, tendons, or ligaments. The energy stimulates blood flow and activates cells needed for tissue regeneration. Shockwave energy also helps to break down scar tissue and calcifications to promote healthy new tissue growth.

Some people experience a reduction in pain or feel numbness in the treatment area during their session. However, you may need a series of PiezoWave2 treatments before you feel a significant difference in pain levels.

Results of PiezoWave2 shockwave therapy sessions can last for several weeks or several years, depending on your condition and the severity of symptoms. The team discusses your options for maintenance sessions after you complete your initial treatments.
