PiezoWave

Revolutionary focused, pain-relieving therapy

PiezoWave Therapy

PiezoWave compression therapy offers a highly effective alternative to surgery and injections.

The advanced treatment therapy is an effective, non-invasive solution to the pain associated with the musculoskeletal system.

It delivers high-energy percussions to the injured/affected area being treated. They’re NOT electric shocks, but mechanical pulses that travel through the tissue being treated.

Non-invasive, Quick, and Comfortable

PiezoWave is a device that is classified as myofascial acoustic compression therapy. It uses low intensity shock waves to target damaged tissue to manipulate and compress tissue.

This manipulation increases circulation and blood flow. It can be used for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction or Peyronies Disease. It is non-invasive, quick, and comfortable.

Patient-Guided Pain Relief

The sources of pain are not always found in the area where the pain seems to be radiating from. This is clinically called referred pain. The distancing of the pain sensation from its source can make treatment more difficult. Diagnosis of referred pain and the recognition of the originating pain triggering points can be accomplished using the PiezoWave.

How Does it Work?

During each painless treatment laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.

  • A typical PiezoWave Therapy treatment takes between 10 and 20 minutes
  • Normally, 1-2 treatments per week are performed
  • A total of 3-5 treatments may be necessary before lasting improvement is achieved
  • With acute pain, a single session of PiezoWave Therapy is often successful

Patients with chronic or unresponsive injuries that have tried other methods of care to no avail may be great candidates for this type of therapy.

Some common injuries that benefit from Piezowave/shockwave therapy:

  •  Headaches
  •  Neck pain: Whiplash injury, tech neck, etc.
  •  Hip pain
  •  Pain and tissue inflammation associated with Arthritis
  •  Elbow pain: Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow, etc.
  •  Shoulder pain: Rotator cuff injury, Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), etc.
  •  Tendonopathy: tendonitis and tendonosis
  •  Wrist or Ankle Pain
  •  Plantar Fasciitis
  •  Myofascial dysfunction
  •  Chronic trigger point pain
  •  Repetitive stress injuries
  •  Sprains and strains

Piezowave/shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment process with minor side effects – like skin redness. It is considered a safer and less invasive alternative to surgery. You can return to your daily activities immediately; downtime following a treatment is unnecessary.

Most patients will experience an immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2–4 hours after the treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as tolerable and not limiting. Because this is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment, there is no downtime associated with this treatment. All patients are free to return to their normal daily activities following treatment with very few restrictions, including work and errands. Patients are also allowed to drive themselves home after this treatment.

 

As a manual treatment, it may take some time for the results of Shockwave Therapy to become apparent. While some patients report feeling immediate pain relief following treatment, others may require several weeks to experience any significant pain-relieving results. The initial results for many patients is a numbing sensation in the area that was treated. Your initial results are typically a temporary response to the treatment, meaning your pain will be dulled but it will not be fixed for several more weeks. Your initial results will take the edge off the worst of your pain.

The results of this treatment will continue to improve over the course of several weeks. About 8 to 12 weeks after treatment, you can expect to experience the greatest degree of results, namely freedom from chronic pain that interferes with your mobility and your overall wellbeing in your daily life.

Piezoelectric Wave TreatmentI have had chronic back pain for over a decade. I have wanted to reduce my dependence on pain medication. Because of a stroke I was unable to use some more traditional medical procedures as I could not stop by blood thinner...

Greg Stanley Maizlish, Esquire

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Progressive Polyneuropathy in 2005. This caused me to slowly lose my balance. For some time I have used a cane or walker to get around without falling. After 4 sessions of Neural Prolotherapy injections in my feet I am able to walk around the house unaided and not feel like I am going to fall. I am so excited with the results of this treatment and feel my improvements will continue.

I did not know I had a problem with urine leakage, would not go away. I saw posters in the waiting room. I asked how does this work? By having these 2 O-Shots I feel wonderful! If you have issues like me do it because it works. Also, I did the UltraSlim procedure, very encouraging. Ladies and Gentlemen go see Dr. Smith, Amber and team, you won’t be disappointed!

Christine S.

I have suffered from chronic pain in my right leg for almost 4 years. After seeing my personal doctor and several nerve blocks that did not work, I was referred to Doctor Smith. After several tests he had me start on CBD oil and later added the Piezo treatments. After 8 treatments I have had 3 weeks of pain free time. The most I have had in 4 years. I am very Thankful for Amber who has done my treatments. She did a wonderful job for me.

Treatment

How many sessions do I need?

During every session, 1000 to 2000 pulse waves will be delivered to an area being treated lasting about ten minutes. You will see maximum benefits with five to six treatments per area with three to five days to allow for proper recovery time.

Many conditions need three to five sessions. The treatments can be done five to ten days apart depending on tissue response and patient tolerance.

Is Piezowave therapy painful?

Piezowave therapy is a much safer alternative to surgery and injections. For this procedure, there is no anesthesia involved and you can immediately return to your daily activities after your session, with no downtime, no pain, and no discomfort.
