Shockwave Therapy with PiezoWave2 – Now Available in Phoenix
Focused shockwave therapy is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that is becoming more attractive worldwide. It effectively manages pain and various tissue problems by healing the root cause of the issue. By harnessing the body’s natural healing properties, this therapy offers a safe and effective treatment solution. It oftentimes eliminates the need for surgery, steroids, and injections.
It is essential to be aware of the proliferation of subpar machines and treatments that may mislead patients. While shockwave therapy is a powerful healing tool, it’s critically important to choose the right equipment. This is why after extensive research, we’ve chosen the state of the art PiezoWave2 machine for patients of Full Circle Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy stands out as a highly effective and safe alternative for pain management and tissue healing. Unlike many other treatment methods, it taps into your body’s innate ability to get to the root of the issue and heal itself. With FDA approval and over 15 years of international and US based clinical studies and real world use, high-intensity shockwave therapy has amassed a wealth of high-quality evidence supporting its efficacy. It offers patients the opportunity to enhance their healing journey, allowing them to dictate their own pace and frequency of treatment.
Beware of Ineffective Treatments:
While shockwave therapy has gained significant attention, it is crucial for patients to discern between high quality treatment options and deceptive alternatives.
There are many machines and therapies claiming to provide shockwave treatment that lack proper validation and can even prove harmful. It is essential to exercise caution and remain vigilant when seeking the best treatment. Home machines and certain RADIAL shockwave machines fall under this category, and patients should be wary of their safety and efficacy.
Choosing the highest quality FOCUSED shockwave machine is paramount to ensuring optimal results and a safe treatment experience.
Introducing PiezoWave2 A Cut Above the Rest:
Not all shockwave machines are created equal. At our clinic, we exclusively provide FOCUSED shockwave therapy through the state-of-the-art PiezoWave 2 machine, designed by the renowned Richard Wolf Company in Germany.
This top-of-the-line equipment uses focused sound wave to effectively reduce inflammation and heal tissue by promoting growth factors, stimulating immunomodulating cells, and creating angiogenesis, facilitating improved blood flow to the affected areas. This cellular modulation promotes faster and more complete healing with few to no side effects.
Unlike RADIAL type shockwave treatment, FOCUSED shockwave therapy generates a steep energy spike followed by negative pressure, triggering cellular changes that stimulate soft tissue repair and the recruitment of healing cells and growth factors to the site of injury or “microtrauma.”
Unleashing the Power of Focused Shockwave Therapy:
Focused shockwave treatment employs sonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into the tissue, unlocking the release of growth factors and other vital cellular components responsible for initiating the healing process.
Distinguishing itself from TENS, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound, focused shockwave therapy represents a cutting-edge treatment approach that yields optimal healing responses by penetrating deep within the tissue.
Experience Targeted Relief:
The sound waves generated by focused shockwave therapy converge at specific points within the tissue, delivering intense, short-duration pressure pulses that effectively treat areas that are challenging to access through other means, such as massage.
This focused therapy ensures precise targeting of your exact location of pain, maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Key Treatment Goals:
Focused shockwave therapy aims to achieve several critical objectives, including:
- Converting unhealthy tissue into healthy tissue.
- Reducing pain and inflammation.
- Enhancing overall function.
- Preventing further damage and the degeneration process.
- Delaying or eliminating the need for injections, pills, or surgery.
- Enhancing the effectiveness of complementary treatments like PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy.
A Seamless Treatment Experience:
Focused shockwave therapy offers a convenient and comfortable treatment experience. Each session typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, allowing for quick and efficient treatment during your visit to the clinic.
It is morning to feel mild soreness for 2-3 days following shockwave treatment. It is also normal to experience mild “shooters” while the healing is taking place, especially at nighttime.
There is no “downtime” per se following shockwave treatment but it is a good idea to eat well, rest well and not stress the body part treated too strenuously. This will help facilitate the healing process.
