The Intensity of the impulses can be varied greatly over a 20 point scale, thus allowing both high levels of treatment efficiency while maintaining patient treatment comfort without freezing or sedation.Ĭommon Conditions Treated by Shockwave Therapy

The large emitter of the applicator head allows for focused energy at a set depth, NOT at the skin layers where a patient would sense unnecessary treatment pain. The unit is simple to operate, all treatment parameters easily set and monitored with precision.Īt the applicator head exact depth of penetration can be varied by use of varied thickness gel pads.

The root of the Wolf PiezoWave unit is the powerful piezoelectric shockwave produced through focused sonic energy from thousands of small crystals embedded in the applicator head. This forces the damaged tissues to progressively regenerate, eventually healing properly. Once this occurs the body will even begin to re-absorb irritative calcium deposits from the affected tendons. Aside from helping break down thickened, inflexible scar tissue, the shock waves stimulate new blood vessel formation (neovascularization) to the injured area leading to improved circulation and metabolic processes. The body’s healing process is accelerated by activating the body’s innate healing responses. ESWT & TPST are highly efficient, non-surgical treatments for chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system.

TPST (Trigger Point Shock Wave Therapy)ĮSWT has been used successfully in the treatment of chronic pain since the early ’90s.

ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy).

The PiezoWave combines two types of orthopaedic applications: True Extracorporeal Shock Wave is considered a superior, more efficient form of Shock Wave.Įxamples include the 2010 Institute of Sports Medicine Frankfurt “Comparison of radial versus focused extracorporeal shock waves in plantar fasciitis using functional measures” study where they concluded “… evidence for focused extracorporeal shock wave treatment being superior to radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.” Here at AYH we are fortunate to have the newest technology at our disposal in the form of the PiezoWave from German Medical experts Richard Wolf Industries.

Radial Shockwave (usually not considered true extracorporeal shockwave therapy–but more of a pressure wave therapy since the impulses don’t break the speed of sound).Extracorporeal Shock Wave (Electrohydraulic, Electromagnetic, Piezoelectric technologies).The two primary styles of Shockwave therapy available to the public today are:
