The PiezoWave combines extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) applications with trigger point shock wave therapy (TPST) applications. Extracorporeal shock waves have been used successfully in the treatment of chronic pain since the early '90s.
The PiezoWave offers a significant expansion of the range of applications for myofascial pain syndrome. The extracorporeal, focused shock wave allows precise diagnosis and therapy of active and latent trigger points. Trigger points are thickened, pain-sensitive points within a usually tense muscle. They can cause a variety of pains - even well away from their own location.
How does Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy work?
The Piezowave generates sound waves with high energy (extracorporeal) based on the piezoelectric principle. These waves are passed into the body through gel filled cushions. The patient feels the short pulses and helps the clinician to direct the shock waves to the point where the most pain is felt. Treatment is gentle and takes up to 15 minutes. Approximately 3 treatments are necessary at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks.

Technical data
Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy - ESWT
Applications
The Piezowave ESWT unit is used to treat chronic pain particularly in the transitional regions between tendons and bone and in muscle attachments in:
- Radial/ulnar epicondylitis
- Patellar tendinopathy
- Plantar fascilitis with or without heal spurs
- Tendinosis calcarea (shoulder)
- Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
- Pseudoarthrosis
Advantages in ESWT
- High, clearly defined penetration depth
- Highly accurate treatment
- Maximum energy directly in the treatment area
- Low risk of haematoma
- Practically no skin irritation
- Small design, portable, compact unit
- Practically maintenance free
Trigger point shock wave therapy - TPST
Applications
The extracorporeal, focused shock wave allows both the therapy and the precise localization of active and latent trigger points. The trigger is excited by the small focus point of the PiezoWave. This allows precise localization without palpation that is often painful for the patient.
