#PIEZO WAVE THERAPY FREE#
Free of pain thanks to focused shock waves There are no side effects caused by lesions in the surrounding tissue layers in contrast to other forms of therapy (compression techniques, injections etc.). The focus area is placed precisely in the relevant muscle layer. This method allows the myofascial trigger points in the superficial and deep muscle layers to be localized and treated directly.

#PIEZO WAVE THERAPY SKIN#
How does a focused shock wave affect trigger points? Ultrasound waves are coupled into the body through the skin and bundled to focus on the trigger points. What is a trigger point? Trigger points (TrPs) are local shortenings in the muscle that can cause referred pain in the muscles in zones that are typical for each particular muscle. These are bundled ultrasound waves that produce a high peak pressure at their focus. Patients’ questions on shock wave therapy What are focused shock waves? This feature of the treatment means maximum efficiency The variable depth of penetration allows trigger points to be located and treated even in deep muscle. To allow treatment, the trigger points can be found and located with the focus point. It allows precise adaptation of the depth of penetration, intensity and pulse frequency of the shock waves to suit the indications at hand. The Wolf PiezoWave is ideal for trigger point shock wave therapy (TPST). With the new piezoelectric focused shock wave source from Richard Wolf, trigger points are localised exactly and accurately treated. They are not only painful, the area in which they are located is also often liable to muscular lesions such as strains, tears and other injuries. They can cause a wide range of pain even well away from their own location. Trigger points are thickened, sensitive points within a locally tense muscle.

Therapy right on the spot with TPST The cause of the pain is often not to be found only in the local area of the pain itself but in distant trigger points in the corresponding muscle group. Is a successful treatment for chronic pain in the region of muscles, tendons and bones.
