Piezowave Acoustic Compression Therapy
Piezowave therapy is also known as focused acoustic compression therapy (ACT) or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Acoustic Compression Therapy uses focused sound waves to stimulate healing within the body. The gentle vibration breaks down scar tissue and adhesions while increasing blood flow and activating the body’s natural repair processes. This leads to reduced pain, improved motion, and decreased muscle tension, especially in chronic or hard-to-treat areas.
Piezowave takes an advantage because it stimulates the body’s own healing process without using drugs or any sort of invasive procedures.
Patients report the following after just one session:
- Immediate reduction of pain
- Improved mobility
- Improved function
Common Conditions we Treat:
- Arthritic joints
- Sprains and strains
- Tendinopathy and ligament injuries
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Plantar fasciitis
- IT band syndrome
- TMJ dysfunction
- Back pain and failed back surgery
- Neck pain
- Achilles tendonitis and shin splints
- Adhesions
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist pain
- Elbow Medial and lateral epicondylitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Hamstring Injuries
- HIp pain
- Rotator cuff Injuries
- SI joint pain
- Sciatica
- Shin Splints
- Patella tendinitis
What to Expect
Appointments last 10–20 minutes.
The therapy is performed directly on the skin using a light coupling gel.
Intensity and focus are adjusted for each patient’s comfort.
A mild pulsing or vibration is normal; discomfort should be minimal.
Most patients benefit from 6–12 treatments, as prescribed by the doctor.
Why Choose us?
Piezowave has several advantages over other shockwave devices:
Target Depth & Precision: Piezowave delivers focused acoustic energy, meaning it can pinpoint deep, specific tissues, tendons, or trigger points. Radial and unfocused shockwave is divergent, meaning the energy spreads out and is best for superficial conditions or broader muscle coverage.
Piezowave Excels At:
- Deep tissue conditions (hip bursitis, hamstring tendinopathy)
- Precision-requiring areas (foot, hand, spine)
- Conditions requiring targeted energy delivery with minimal surrounding tissue impact
- Chronic tendinopathies with calcification
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Often described as more comfortable
- Produces a “tapping” or “buzzing” sensation
- Less surface discomfort due to focused energy delivery
- Minimal post-treatment soreness
- Better tolerated in sensitive areas

Possible Side Effects and Risks Associated with Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is generally a safe procedure with few risks and side effects. In fact, the most common side effect is a temporary increase in pain or discomfort in the area that was treated. Other possible side effects may include redness, swelling, or bruising.
